Last day of 2020, I am looking forward to tomorrow, a new day which is jus' a beginning of the new year ahead. And even through this year's adversity is going to linger a bit longer, the new day tomorrow will bring hope with the morning sun.
Looking back, this year had been one heck of a rollercoaster ride. Everything went out of our control, and the bestest plans failed. Together we lost so much, but we gained each other's compassion and company. We are still in the middle of this pandemic but now there's a light at a distance and we can almost see the end of this dark tunnel. If we look hard enough, our life's picture gets more clearer, as the shades deepen to vibrantly highlight what is truly important to us. We're forced to look through a new perception and to take a good hard look at our life and fix the pieces we thought were important, but turned out to be something that were holding us back.
This had been a long hard year for all of us, for some harder than others. But imagine yourself as the person standing pre-pandemic and the person you're right now. What have you achieved, not career, not academic, not financially, but as a living breathing human being, what have you achieved? Are you more empathetic, a bit more patient, do you listen more? Are you grateful and have a new found appreciation for the little things? How has this turmoil changed you as a person, and is this new person a better version of you? Before I start tomorrow, I am planning to answer these questions reminding myself of this journey of finding "Me".
There is a long way to go, to collect the pieces of ourselves, and finish the picture a little differently than we started this year. For some the picture looks completely different, the skills we gained, the careers we shifted, the priorities that changed, over the span of twelve months. Every day we took a step forward, a bit closer to this new day of possibilities, where hope lies jus' at the edge and if we stretch ourselves a little bit more, we can almost reach it.
As I am wrapping the last day of this unpredictable year (which will be noted in history), I want to acknowledge our remarkable journey which kicked us off our game, and our well planned lives to only show that we were blindsided to a better version and a greater potential. Accepting the lingering fumes of 2020, and salvaging our pieces little by little, lets remind each other of this fight for survival and the journey that continues for citizen of Earth.
So here I am with a notepad as the clock strikes midnight, to reminiscence my year and how I've changed, only to picture my life's goal ahead, planning (again despite uncertainty) to fulfills my dream of tomorrow.
May the new year bring everyone peace, joy and Hope. Happy New Year!!!
