I mean, it isn't that sweet when you turn 16, it doesn't even give you a fairy tale feeling brought by flowers and candles when you turn 18 nor the sense of freedom that you feel when turning 21. But, then... I was wrong. Turning 22 made me realized how I have grown as a person and how God truly loves me.
Although, admittedly, my journey has been a rough ride - there were twists and turns. There were times that I was complaining about life more often and asking, "Lord, why me???!"
In retrospect, I am thankful how I saved myself from the trap of ungratefulness. I guess, there's just a point in our lives when we would rather choose to be grateful than resentful.
Today, I turned 22 and it feels like the past year has just passed by, as if my days were lived in a fast-forward mode. But, I have learned so much. :)
So, here's a recap of my 10 life changing, hipsterly made realizations.
1. Say "thank You" and make it an everyday habit.
3. Be constantly fascinated. And, you'll find beauty in everything.
4. Appreciate little things. And, you'll realize happiness isn't hard to find at all.
5. Dream big. Believe.
6. The greatest experiences and joys of life come only if we know when to take a chance.
Be brave. Take risk.
7. There is an end to everything.
Good things go...and, bad things will eventually pass.
Spend it well.
10. Have faith. God listens. Always.
I'm bente dos, but I feel that I am just on way of growing.
Granting that there are still so many things that I need to learn.
I just pray to God that He may always guide me in the days which lie ahead to make this
the best year yet.
:)
P.S:
For all the people who remembered me today, and sent me birthday greetings through phone calls, text messages, wall posts... THANK YOU MUCH-O!!!:)
