...A New Day Has Come...

It really is about time for me to start something new, or actually to continue something old... to restart my blogging habit after a long time. It feels super exciting to be able to put thoughts into words again, and I am enjoying every moment of it.


Lately I have been able to sit back and look at my current stage of life from a different perspective. Realized that for the past 2 years (or 5 years, or even 21 years) I was so used to one way of thinking. I thought everything was perfect the way it was (don't get me wrong, everything is still great in my life), but things change, and so do people. Decisions were, are, and will be made to change, hmmm, basically everything. But yes, as I always say, life goes on. No matter how much we want to hold on to things and want time to stop, it just doesn't. If we stop for a minute we will be the ones who fall behind, not life... I learned that the hard way, but better late than never.

I was in a state of hibernation when I kept everything to myself and kept interaction with others to a minimum... But now it is time for me to come out of that stage with new realizations, both about myself, about people around me, and about the world.

I am thankful for what I have...

     I love my family with all my heart. Miles and miles away, but they are always by my side, always encourage me through my toughest time, and I don't know what I can do without them. I'd be nothing... I know you might have heard that a lot, but this truly is coming from the bottom of my heart. I have been away from them for too long, that is why I know how much I should treasure the time we spend together, even though it's just a few months a year... I am not complaining because being away from them has taught me to be a mature person. I have learned in many ways how to take care of and pick myself up every time I fall... But at the end, they are my family, the one who will be with me for the rest of my life, so I am counting every second to be with them again.

  

     I love my friends, who are there for me in all steps of the way. They are my shoulders when I'm down (which happens a lot for a sensitive person like me), and laugh with me when I am happy... What more can a person ask for?

  

     I love the life I live... I live for what I believe in. Some people might like what they see, some might not, but that's how life is... Acceptance by others is important to me, but is it worth to lose sleep over when it is really impossible to please everyone in life? I don't think so...

     I consider myself lucky and blessed to have met the people around me and to have seen many wonderful places and things during the short 21 years of my life. Even though there are still many many more on my wishlist, but the important thing is that I have the memories to cherish, something people tend to forget in their busy lives nowadays...

My ears and eyes are now wide open, and so is my heart. I was raised to accept things and face them as they come, so I am doing the very thing...

Everyday I am reminding myself to stop, take a deep breath, smile, feel the sun, the wind, and live the life I have always wanted to live...
