Dear 2016

It's 2017. So that means "New year. New start. New me" bullshit everywhere. I don't do these kinds of things. I mean new years resolutions and stuff. If you wanna change something, just go and fucking change it. No fresh start. No new chance. It is still the same shitty life. And ugly truth is, that you have just one life. You don't usually get fresh start until you wake up from coma or survive a car accident or something like that. Yeah, of course you can think of the new year as a new chapter, but at the end, it't not really about the chapters, right? It's about the whole book. But why am I talking about this? I don't wait for the end of the year like for a mercy. And I am not really curious what new one brings. But I like to reflect a little bit. Think about the past. About the good stuff and of course the bad stuff. It's just part of the life.
Let just quickly start with 2015. Truth be told, that was probably the shittiest year of my life. Quite lot of downs, not many ups. At very beginning of the year my boyfriend and I broke up. After 3 something years. I didn't actually expect it to be that rough for me, but it was. And took me like good 5 months to get over it a bit. Mainly because he'd found the new girlfriend like few days before he broke up with me. And of course I knew her. Few months later I had my final exams (the first part of three) at Uni. And indeed I failed. Bad combo of examiner and the question. But that's me. I am just so lucky. Then started my worst and at the same time the best summer of my life. Lot of parties, lot of alcohol. And when I say lot, I mean loooooot. Like every other day lot. Lot of arguments with my parents.  Lot of new friends. Reunions with old friends. Lot of studying. And then came the September and second chance for my finals. And I passed. Probably only good thing about the 2015. (Oh wait, someone introduced me The Weeknd, that is highlight too.) On 1 of November passed away my beloved furry friend. My love and companion. Ten years with the precious little lady wasn't enough. And it still breaks my heart when I think about it. That was definitely the lowest low of the year. Maybe not only the year. But that was it. So much for the 2015. Pff. Relieved? Me too.
Dear 2016, you treated me little bit better than your brother 2015. You let me finished my studies. I passed the rest of the exams and finished my thesis. So I am a lawyer now. Haha. You provided to me quite an interesting summer. It included lot of trips, festivals, traveling, holidays in Greece, parties, barbecues and just chilling and enjoying  the time. And then came the September (again) and I left Czech and went to the UK. To work, to improve my English, to get the experience, to live the UK dream. I left everything behind, well.. there wasn't much really. So that's why I did it. Perfect time. No job, no boyfriend, no liabilities and responsibilities. Three months in the Oxford. It certainly was an experience. I learnt lot of new things, met interesting people, made few new friendships (which I am not sure will last...), found out that simple things like public transport or grocery shops or banks are available in Czech like almost anytime and people here are still complaining, gained weight little bit, learnt that there is no place like home and didn't really improve my english. That was little bit naive of me. I was working with foreigners and British people are not really excited about having conversation with Czech waitresses. So I feel like I am stuck on the same level of English since secondary school and have no idea how to change it. But I am glad I did this. I wanted to live abroad (even just for a while) like forever. I kept thinking about it since I was 16. And I finally did it and I don't have to say to myself "what if....". In December I came back home and spent Christmas with my family and friends. And that was more less it. Wasn't really bad year, I must say.
OK. It is kinda contradictory to what I did write at the beginning, but anyway...
Let's see what 2017 brings!

Yours truly,
 T.


And why is this post in English? I don't really know. It just felt right.
