It's a new year. A new beginning. A new start.
2013 is now a memory that will slowly fade in our minds but not in our hearts. It will remain in the history and no one can ever change what happened before. No one can invent a real time machine and fix their past. No one can go back. Life is a road that has no U-turn... The only way is
forward.
I had some mistakes I wanted to redo last year. I had millions of chances and opportunities un-grabbed and wasted because of hesitation. I had a chance to change my ways, but I blew it all because of
me. I am a mere loser, an invisible student, a hopeless daughter, and an awful lover. I am nothing. Just a mistake bringing me to this world that all I could do is add up to the pile of trash and end this freaking world sooner than expected. But that is only what I thought of myself.
January 7,2014 is the day I realized that I was not invisible, that I was not alone, that many people carries heavy problems of their life but can still show a bright smile. This day was our retreat. It made me remember my awful but beautiful past. All the pain, rejection, bliss, and memories. The people whom I love but forgot to make them feel loved. The people from my past that became a lesson in my present. The people that stayed in my life and shared ample of time to make my past memorable. I was surrounded with caring and loving people throughout my whole existence. "I'm such a lucky girl", I told myself that night. Tears run down my face while remembering all of that. I wanted to make people happy everyday with the little things I could do. I want to appreciate every person's existence. I want them to realize that they have something to share with this world, something very important.
That day, I learned so many things. But the most memorable one is that there is no problem given to you that you can't handle. You are experiencing that problem because He gave it to you 'cause He knows you are stronger than you think. God does not give problems without a solution. I also learned that there are more people experiencing a much more difficult life than I am, just imagining it happening to your life can break you down in seconds.
This year, I want to start fresh. I'm going to try to be independent and practice my decision making skills. I'm gonna change my way of thinking from now on. Before I judge people, I must step on their own shoes first and experience the pain they had gone through. I want to show people that I could
be better, that I could
do better than just sit around and watch them do stuff. This is not my
new year's resolution, because those stuff never really works.. after a few weeks people would return to what they wanted to change and that resolution would quickly fade away from their minds.I want this one to last a lifetime. I want to be the true version of
me.
