Right now, I am listening to Ebe Dancel’s new album. I have to say listening to his songs inspired me to write here again. Not that his songs are purely motivational to push me to type my sentiments here but ~*how should i put this*~ let’s just say that his songs have the power to make you feel every tiny emotions you were trying to shy away from - be it pain, or doubt or love. Anyway, this is not a blog post about him nor his songs. Well, this is about life. Yes. Sadly. My life.
2015 has been a year of so many changes. I finished my internship year, conquered every oral and written revalida(s) and completed my thesis. I graduated a bachelor degree last June and passed the national board exam on August. I was immediately hired as consultant to 2 different clinics on September. And had my first big investment on December. Come to think of it, everything that happened feels entirely surreal. I finally understand the reason behind my unanswered prayers, my heartbreaks and even my failures.
It taught me how to believe the seemingly impossible. To believe, most especially, in myself and in the great things that I’m destined to make. 2015 taught me to let go and leave the comforts of a box that I contained myself in. To breakdown the walls and let love seep in. To love and be loved in return. I realized that love is so much simpler than we think it is. We tend to over romanticized love that we reach the point where we forget its true meaning and take the people we love for granted. You cannot. You can’t be mediocre when loving a person.
2015 taught me so much about family. It made me understand them in a much deeper level. And respect the differences in every one of us. I have learned to be patient about my parents’ ramblings about finances, the future and my plans. I have learned to respect my younger brother’s need for privacy and his quite unconventional maturity. And to guide my younger sister to becoming a grown up and lovely lady that she will be but still treat her as the baby in our family. I have learned to love them, more than ever.
It was definitely a year of intense growth and successes and I cant thank God enough. So here’s to a year of multitude blessings and learnings! So here’s to another year of transitioning to adulthood and growing up and learning and loving and failing. And here’s to another year of wonderful travels, great friends, good music, and amazing films!
Here’s to 2016! May you be merry!
