At 22, most of us are trying to find our own place in this world- including me. There are many lessons in life that we can't find in our school textbooks, or in our teacher's lectures. These lessons we have to figure out all by ourself while trying to stay alive.
(1) This year, I've seen a collective sadness in people's life. Loss of a child, Loss of loved ones, marriage issues, health problems, depression and even loneliness. Realize it or not, everybody is hurting. Everybody has their own pain to deal with. Everybody is fighting their own demon. This, somehow, motivates me to be more compassionate to others. To give more than what I can take. To be kind. Because I'm sure the world could use a little more kindness.
(2) Being financially independent is no doubt something that I'm proud of this year. But despite that, the work experience itself is truly humbling. I threw away all that I knew and learned things from scratch. I'm feeling blessed, because I know I'm not only working for the sake of corporate's profit and advantages, but also to help people improve their lives. I find it quite fascinating to be honest.
(3) People who truly love you will stay in your life, no matter what. Even when you're miles away, even if you've only got to see each other couple times in a year, even when you forget to call them or reply to their texts, even when you push them away sometimes. They understand your weird phases and they like you because you are.. just you. For that, I cherish them forever.
Happy birthday dear self, thank you for surviving another year; one hell of a crazy year. 23 has never looked so good now that I'm in it!
