2012 - Blog and Life Highlights

It's a little bit late for a 2012 review post. But this is my blog, my life and my game so I will do it anyways.

So what did I do in 2012?
This year wasn't all sunshine and smiles, but I'm sure glad that it's over and that I will get to face a few challenges that will hopefully lead to exciting changes. At least I got the opportunity to truly take advantage of summer in Vienna, the most beautiful summer city in the world.

May 1st - walk on the Donauinsel
I started the year looking over the rooftops of Vienna, blinded by what felt like a billion fireworks all around me. Fireworks make me feel uneasy, because by lighting them we're playing with forbidden images and sounds that belong to war and destruction. What everywhere around the world are rockets and tears, become the ultimate show-off of New Year opulence in countries blessed by peace. Right then I had the feeling that this was going to be a difficult year. I was right.

I travelled to Barbados, fell in love with the Caribbean and went swimming with the turtles.
I went to Zürich, Berlin and Romania where I caught up with my friends, jumped off fences and fell in love with being away from Vienna.

March - with the girls in Barbados
I picked up casual smoking again and ran my first 10k race. I guess 2012 was the year of contrasts.
I wrote two serious pieces in a magazine.

November - dark and gloomy

I started this blog, the last out of many attempts to publish my photos and writing online. Surprisingly enough, people read my stuff and I got to meet a lot of other bloggers.

2012, I'm happy you're over. 2013 has to be a better, more productive and happier year. I will make sure it will be!

  1. Interestingly enough I have the same opinion about fireworks...maybe because my Dad is originally from Vienna and it reminds me of bombs attacks (which sucks and is kinda stupid, but that's how I feel anyways!)

    I started reading your blog when you first started and I loved it! But you should try to, instead of running away, stay and confront what's making you leave in the first place...I "ran" away when I was 20, moved to Vienna for a year and lived with my aunt and realized, no matter where you are, you'll always have problems and if you don't fix things and deal with them, they'll always be in the back of your head...I don't regret the year I spent there, but eventually I came back home and starting dealing with stuff...and I've been happier!!

    You are a strong woman and you'll get over all of the bad stuff 2012 brought you and I wish that 2013 is a better year for you!!!

    And I hope you continue with the blog!!! =D
