2013, an eye-opener. All grand passages of this year have contributed to a better understanding of life. It was the year in which I lived my biggest dream, have experienced the greatest sadness and felt the overwhelming power of love. The definition of "dreams" was once uncertain and an utter escape, but these days dreams have become part of my own existence. When one chooses to not live by the rules of doubts, excuses and expectations, life will reward you with surprises, new hello's, happiness and great gratitude.  A year in which friendships took on a different meaning, different cultural backgrounds taught me a higher level of respect, loneliness transformed into pride and expectations were banned by the pursuit of doing what I want. 

As I said in my Parisian memorial: a life without expectations, is a life of triumph. The expectations for tomorrow, love, friendship and for yourself have proven to be the root of disappointment. It is exactly this lesson that has made 2013 an eye-opening year, a big change for the many years to come, the many friends I'll meet and the dreams I aim for. 

2013, you were bittersweet. Thank you for your memories and lessons.
