the end is but the beginning but the end

i've learned a lot this year,
be it academic knowledge, or knowing better about people in general, about the way people think, about how we behave, about the way things work. I dont know whether what i've learned is doing me good or bad, but one thing is clear - i have learned a lot. And I think i have changed immensely. The way i see things are from a very different perspective now. The things i expect from people have changed too. He thinks i'm being ignorant, being skeptical, he thinks i'm trying to hide from being what i am.. But i disagree. I think he just hasnt gone through what I have, he hasnt felt what I felt, he doesnt think the thoughts i think. Therefore he doesnt see life the way I see it.
I've learned that there isn't anyone to blame. Nobody's ever completely right or completely wrong. I've learned that some things can really hurt you, and goodbyes can be really hard to say, but when it comes to thinking back, i know i've cherished the good times, and thus, there are no regrets.
what matters is that although there were many huge bumps and unpleasant obstacles along the journey, the end of the road turned out to be pretty good. And when i turn around to look back and what lay along the road of 2008/2009, i can still smile about it all. Cos afterall, I've learned. I do not wish to go on the same road again, and i know i wont. all of us move on. So i'll face 2009/2010 with a gentle smile, no longer that witty grin that i had at the beginning of 2008.
No matter how much i hate to admit it, I've grown up.
