December. The time of snow in seasonal countries. Here in the tropics it's all rain and no sunshine. I dislike the wet weather, even though it's cooler. I prefer the bright, warm sunshine to the cold, gloomy blanket of doom. And yet, December is still my favourite month, simply because it's my birthday! And it's also Jesus' birthday! Well, officially that is. 25th December is just an estimate anyway. A few years ago (maybe like 5-6?), if you asked me, I would have replied that I prefer the rain.

I am so glad that I'm no longer the emo teenager anymore. Turning 21 this year will mark the end of any teenage stuff remaining. The days of dwelling on problems, being so upset over things that go wrong, feeling disappointment because of people who failed me...all those are long gone. Of course, I'm still not a ball of optimism, but I reckon that I now move past all these things quickly and handle situations in a more mature manner.

Haha. I hope my birthday party is a success! I suck at organizing and hosting parties.
