Say goodbye to all the fears
Wipe away all the tears
New year, workin through a pile
New year, come out and smile
It's true that 2016 had been a very dreadful year.
A lot of inspirational people died. A lot of frustrating events occurred. A lot of disasters came and destroyed the nation. A lot of unexpected things happened.
2016 affected a lot of people and I am no exception to that.
My year had been full of depression and frustrations. Horrible things happened. I've suffered a lot of slumps. I've wallowed in pity and had been dispirited many times. Dreams came crashing down, expectations were not met, got stuck in the middle of nowhere.
I've got to be honest, I am still on that zone. I am still stuck. I am still on a slump. I am still depressed and frustrated of what my life turned out to be. I guess I am in the "quarter-life" crisis and right now I still don't know how to get out of it.
But the year is ending, and I wish that everything that is bad in my life would end too.
Still, there are a lot of things to be thankful for because as I looked back on the events that happened in my life. I have come to realize and learn that I am still young and I still got a lot of time. A lot of time to smile. A lot of time to make mistakes. A lot of time to make up for those mistakes. A lot of time to change. A lot of time to enjoy. A lot of time to have fun. A lot of time to love. A lot of time to be me. A lot of time to live.
2016 was indeed a no good, terrible, horrible, dreadful year but there were good times that happened to me as well.
- I survived and graduated college.
- I've come to intern on large companies (Inquirer & Viva Comm) and enjoyed the field while at it.
- I've been to a lot of places I've never been.
- I've had weird adventures.
- I met a lot of people and encountered a lot of personalities and attitudes.
- I made a lot of friends and thankful of how I endured the year with their help.
- I have worked and got paid for it.
- I've become an adult in a blink of an eye.
- I've also become a child every time I need to pause.
- I've become a person who always tries hard.
- I've come to appreciate the kindness of people.
- I've come to appreciate even the smallest things.
- I've come to love God more.
- I've come to love my family more.
- I've come to love myself more.
- I've lived for another year.
