A new year 2013 has started and it feels like I’ve skipped one whole year. It almost feels like yesterday, I was travelling around Maldives. From the very north to south of it. But then again, it was 2011. Looking back at the year (Skipped 2012) it seems like I have not done much or achieved any. However, let’s just start from the very beginning.
After celebrating the New Year 2012 at Gn. Fuvahmulah with Nattu (back then we were NOT Friends), spent couple of months travelling to Ga., G.Dh. and also Lhaviyani Atoll. During which I fell in love with this guy. Though it lasted just a month I spent almost half a year to get back to being ok and move on. That one month with him must’ve been this years happiest days for me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it work.
Third month, March, was a really hard month to struggle through. With all the pain and heartache of loosing the ‘love’ I was completely lost. I was just barely surviving. But with the courage and support given by friends (Shaffu, Naanu and especially Shiba) I got myself back into being myself. Hurried to get myself employed somewhere. Luck was with me during those days, April 1st was the day I started working at Island Aviation services pvt.ltd. as the Assistant Admin Officer.
Spending most part of the day from morning 0700hrs to 1700hrs at office helped me to forget what I had to forget. It wasn’t easy but I’m glad that I made it. However, I couldn’t let myself work at office for very long. Not just a day more than a month and I resigned from the job. I did not like the work that I had to do there neither did I like having to work with people who were not from my generation. And by the time I resigned I was almost selected for the customer service job at GMR International Airport. But due to some internal problems in the company they couldn’t hire any employee at that time. So again I was jobless and had nothing to do. From the responses and reaction I got from my family members I can tell, they were not very happy with the decision I made on my own.
Also during these I was also working with DYM. And I am proud to be called as one the co-founders of DYM. Flash freezing, flash mobbing, making our own Dhivehi scrabble board and celebrating days like environment day, climate impacts day 2012 are some of the works that DYM have done so far. Also the main event Katti Hivvaru Fest was the biggest achievement DYM have gotten so far.
Well, month of May was rather a very stressful month. Resigning from job and staying home was not something anybody liked. So I hurried to get myself into studies and plan something for my future. With that thought on, I applied for Bachelor of Nursing course at Maldives National University. And with the positive reply I got I joined MNU during the month of June. I’m not doing nursing because I want to. It’s seems like I have no option but to do it. I don’t really like the lecturers in my faculty. Most importantly, I am not at all ready to go to IGMH for my next clinicals. First clinical experience was so bad that I don’t want to see any of the sisters I worked with during that time.
During the month of August I got the news of being selected for the South Asia training for trainers workshop which was carried out in Dhaka, Bangladesh from 24th to 29th September 2012. People from everywhere around south asia. Everyone was so alike, so good, caring and loving. Especially Ayesha and Chaitanya from 350.org India, my beautiful roommate Jannet and the cutest Anil from Nepal are people who would forever be in my life. Memories of them will forever be engraved in my heart.
Month of October was a very disappointing month. I declined the chance I got to go for the Cop18 summit in Doha, Qatar, only because I was so much looking forward to be part of the Youth Leadership programme 2012. But sadly, I couldn’t be part of it. Also had a hard time with the family members for no actual reason. But at the end I realized that I was being blamed for not being good enough. Well I would wish if I could be any better. However getting the chance to go to L.Gan for LTLT training by Democracy House was also a proud Achievement.
November month also went with the same drama with the family. And later, one by one, all my close friends started travelling everywhere around the world. Some for trainings and some for holidays. Till mid December I felt so lonely and miserable. But my very best friend, shiba’s marriage brought so much happiness into my life. I wish her all the happiness and love. And that happiness turned. I met this new guy. He was so gentle, caring, loving and all different kind of sweetness. But it also lasted for just two weeks and it was all gone. I did hope for something more to happen but maybe, luck was not with me.
However, year 2012 ended with me having the loveliest people with me. Nawaf, shaa, Mua, Iyya, Nattu (and we are Bestest friends now), Shaam, shaha , Mary and Hood. You guys are definitely my happiness. I don’t know where I might be right now if I did not have you guys with me then, and all time.
Anyhow, year 2012 has passed and 2013 is on its way filling up the pages of it. I don’t know how it might end but I definitely hope for a better ending.
Just a small recap of the year 2012.
