2015 has been quite a hectic year for me. I've learned how to change my perceptions in seeing things, and have understood many situations in different perspectives. Many people came into my life this year and left a mark; there were some good marks as well as some bad ones, but somehow, I managed to pick up a few life lessons to live by.
In this year, I've noticed that sometimes you would end up never speaking to someone who meant the world to you again, and that's okay. It's perfectly fine. You won't surely die from not talking to them, however, you cope and you survive. You're not going to let your losses keep you back from new gains. Some people just leave so that the better ones would come by.
Albert Schweitzer once said, "Eventually. Eventually all the pieces fall into place; until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment, and know that everything happens for a reason." When you slowly look back into the past incidents that happened a couple of months ago or throughout the year, you would now understand that everything happens for a definite reason. Whether it's so that you would get something better, or that you won't get hurt, everything would make sense in the end.
Everyone's heartbroken nowadays. I mean, we just can't move on sometimes because the wound is too deep. But, what's the point of reminiscing when you know the person is no longer worthwhile? They're no longer who they used to be, their heart is already probably somewhere else, and let's be honest, they're definitely not sitting on their couch thinking about you like how you did to them. You deserve to be happy. Don't hold on for too long for people who didn't value you.
I've also realized that we are always admiring people, and we are always blinded by people's "greatness" that we completely forgot about our own, that we are actually more blessed than anyone else. For example, you admire a rich family who goes out every time to eat luxurious food and shop expensive stuffs without thinking twice, however the parents are divorced. You, on the other hand, have sufficient amount of money to live, and have a perfect family who are so closed to each other and are constantly bonded everyday. Shouldn't you be more thankful and let people admire the things they can't buy such as a perfect family relationship?
A year has gone by too fast, like a bullet train. So many regrets on things, so many memories painted on a part of our minds, so many lessons and thoughts to ponder about. What a time to be alive. 2016, here I come.
"This is life. People will screw you over. You'll fight with family. You'll witness things that will change you forever. You'll lose best friends you thought would always be there. You'll come to realize that everyone has a past. You'll cry. You'll laugh and you'll embarrass yourself.. But then you'll find your very own moment where none of that matters; where you can sit back and realize that shit happens to the people who can handle it and that this is who you are, and that no one should want to change you, including yourself."
