It's kind of funny how quickly time flies, and how life continues to unfold. At this moment, you are smiling so heavily and the next moment you are at your lowest trying to keep things in place. Sad times don't give a warning, and good times don't knock at the door.
365 days have come, and now it's all gone. Just like yesterday, when everyone was celebrating and wishing each other a happy New Year. Now it's already another new year again. Looking back at how far the journey had been, yet it was long but appeared so short. A lot of things had happened.
Maybe I should say forgetfulness made it easier for us to move on in life. I remember some of my experience during the second and third quarters last year. It was like life was just on a different level. When I thought those phases would never come to an end.
It eventually came to an end. I scaled through the rough edges, the storms, and the heavy waves. It was like a story I have to inscribe on a rock so it will never fade off, but what do you think?? It's already gradually fading away!
I can’t remember much of what happened three years ago. Maybe if I fall into the same experience again, then I might be reminded of the scar again. But how will i get to overcome it?
Letting Go! I have learned to let go of the scraps and trash in my life. Because nothing was certain, and in the end, no one actually cared. The convincing part of it is that we are always with the mindset that “what will the people say about us?” Meanwhile, the sad truth is no one is actually looking at you or what you do!.
I am not the type that makes that many friends, but I try as much to cherish and appreciate the little ones that are present in my life. I know life is so tough, but with that, there are still some people who are always there during those times. Should we call them our people??
Despite how the year had been. I still gave chances to some people in my life. Made some new friends, tightened some bonds, lost some, and also regained some.
I got into a group conversation with two of my friends three days ago. I was actually surprised to see the call came in. The last time we had such was about two years ago. And since then, we have already let go. One of us has proven himself so busy that he doesn’t even give time to anyone. Then, after realizing him to be that way. We had to let him go.
The two of us had to exempt him and keep our connections intact. But a few days ago, he called again to reconnect. I expressed myself and the reason I had to let go! He was so sorry and apologized. Will there be a second chance? Will there be room for forgiveness? Are we ready to take him back in?
We did! It was like a way to end the year on good terms and also start the new year on a good note. Today marks the beginning of a new year, but there is no difference between today and yesterday. And tomorrow will also be the same. Because the new year doesn’t mean people won't cry, or die, or be happy, some will still be sad, some will get promotions while some will lose their jobs. It's just a day like every other day…
This is my response to the HIVE LEARNERS weekly prompt in the hive-learners community for the Week 198 Edition 2, and the topic to be discussed is NEW YEAR NEW PEOPLE.
