It’s that time of the year again. I have loved Christmas ever since I was a child. I used to love looking at the bright warm lights and twinkling and sparkly decors. I love the spirit of giving. I love it when people smile at the gifts I prepared. 

I have dreamt of waking up to Christmas bells, looking out of the window and seeing snow, padding to the living room in my fluffy slippers and seeing the Christmas tree with all the presents underneath. 

But my dreams were rarely practical. Regardless, Christmas always meant that another year has passed. So what have I achieved this year, and what do I hope to achieve next year?

I have been floating for too long. Maybe it’s time.
