It's the 362nd day of the year and 2014 is right around the corner. A lot of things happened - the bad and the good - but all I know is, 2013 is ending and there's no way of coming back.
This year is a bittersweet one for me. It was like a big crazy maze that I can't figure how to get myself out, alive. One moment I'd find good news everywhere and I'm so happy and everybody's happy like "Yeah! We're all happy! Hurray for everyone!" and then all of a sudden bad news keep popping out like popcorn on a microwave. But unlike the happiness of eating popcorn while watching a good movie, bad news seems to really know how to ruin good news. Every freaking time.
But like what I've said, it is a one hell of a bittersweet year. Meaning, in every bitter side there's always a sweet side and I actually tried my very best to focus on the sweet side of everything. And it was hard. But we all know that there's no easy way, right? Or at least that's what I believe in.
And then I realized that I still do have a lot of things to be thankful for - I mean a lot - this year, leaving those unexpectedly expected messed up stories behind me. I know it wouldn't really hurt me or anyone to actually admit it to myself and thank whatever or whoever they are that somehow became a part of my tedious life this year. So, here's my list...
- My family's two loving dogs and an irresistible snobbish cat who still loves me even though I just ignore them a lot of times, who gives me warm hugs and kisses every time I'm feeling sad and tired.
- My parents who's been sacrificing their whole lives for me and my siblings. They're not perfect but at least they're trying their best to do more than any parent could do for their children. And I love them. So much.
- My two cool siblings who gives me random advice whenever I need or don't need to. They know me more than myself and I owe them a lot for cooking and giving me food every time Mom's not around. You two are the best!
- My sweet nephews, nieces and godchildren who knows exactly how to make me feel loved just by letting me see those cute and innocent smiles on their faces. Sweetest gift I'll ever get.
- My handful of best friends who's been there with me in good times and in bad, who always know the right thing to say whenever I needed to talk to someone or when I simply need a laugh. They're positively insane and I love them so.
- To the people I call friends who trusted me and welcomed me into their lives. They know exactly who they are and they'll always be in my heart no matter what.
- To that someone who seems to never forget me. With all my heart, thank you so much.
- My family's and love one's health and mine. To feel normal and healthy is one of the most important and lucky thing to have.
- To the founder of coffee and tea, thank you SO much for making my life a lot more better than it is!
- To the world of music, art, words and food for giving me something to rely on whenever I need some time alone.
- Love, in every different forms. It's the most beautiful thing in the world and I'm so lucky to feel it.
- And of course, to God who loves me so much. He even gave me these few things to be thankful for. By the way I see it, with these people and things that I love, I think I'm one of His favorites. :)
