A Year That Walks Like Fire and Rain

To be honest, this year is a rollercoaster filled with a lot of different feelings, some I can explain while some have no explanation at all because it has stretched me in a way that I had never imagined. Some days look perfectly beautiful, joyful, and good, with uplifting messages from people around, just like experiencing a full day of uninterrupted power supply, hmmm, while some other days are as if God is using me to teach a key lesson. But in all, I am grateful.

At this stage I do not think I can help anyone because adulthood is not so rosy and straightforward as I think. It is just like the roads in my country, which are filled with a lot of potholes that can destroy a car if not driven carefully. Sometimes the potholes are not visible until one mistakenly enters into them, but that doesn't mean I should stop; I always keep moving.

I have had a moment when I open my bank account and it all looks like a radio frequency. Sometimes I have come across days when the best thing that I could do was just to stay silent to keep myself from a lot of things, and yet, I always thank God for good people around me who always remind me that life is filled with rough edges and that whoever gives up fucked up. You know those types of friends who are always there for me no matter what and always bring out jokes out of hard situations just to make everything lively. Those types of kind, optimistic friends.

This year has taught me a lot of patience. I am not talking about the usual patience but the one that has made me realize that things will not always go the way I want, but I still need to get going, and it has also taught me to appreciate and be grateful for everything.

So, to be honest, my year has not been perfect, but it has not been terribly bad either because I am learning even with all the things that have happened. I am grateful for all, and I am still very optimistic that even with the few days left for this month to end, the best is yet to come.
