First, I would like to greet you a happy new year! I'm so thankful to share all these thoughts and to have my blog for the year 2020. The past year has been a rollercoaster ride for me. So many ups and down but still I'm thankful to have a blessed new year. This 2020, there are a lot of things I looked forward to, but I wanted to share some of the highlights that happened to me on 2019 and the things I've learned as the year finally ended. I turned 21. They said life in twenties is tough. I've learned a lot this year, from being clueless and jobless to having my first work experience. I decided to work and review for a medical entrance exam at the same time. It's not easy.
I met amazing people along the way and I learned how to handle things as an adult, there are times when I get tired and everything seems toxic but I learned to appreciate my own efforts. I remember going home from work, and It was the little things that helped me cope to some very stressful situations like going to a nearby store to eat ice cream or buy something that could reward myself for a job well done. For being thankful that I am able to survive each day. There are times when I want to give up but each time I felt hopeless, I remind myself that the only thing that keeps me from having a productive life is my own negative mindset that says "you can't do it." that's the only thing I need to beat.
2019 is also the year I've learned that sometimes I'll lose people without even realizing that I'll never be able to talk to them again. Sometimes it's necessary to be able to grow as a person and oftentimes it's about appreciating people's presence. I learned that people will disappoint you but it didn't stop me from caring deeply, because I know that sharing love and care makes you closer in finding genuine happiness than anyone else. I learned that I had to let go of everything that weighs me down just to find an inner peace and happiness that is precious that anything else. I realized that I don't always have the control for things that will happen, aside from that, I learned how to make myself a priority because that's what really matters. 2018 when I didn't get the ideal score for my dream medical school. I felt so hopeless, take a leap of faith and took another exam this year. My score got higher and I realized that being a fighter is not enough, you need to have faith. 2019 is different, specially for my family and friends. I appreciated my family even more because this year, we also celebrated the 18th birthday of my sister and it's the first time we're complete as a family.
We are so blessed to celebrate this event before this year ends.
Again, HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR! Goodbye 2019, Hello 2020. A new decade to be fearless, more days to live, love, and learn more.
Wishing you all the love and happiness you truly deserve,
