Gratitude

Question: Looking back at the year how it started, where you started from and where you are at now? what are you grateful for?


I am grateful for family. Especially because we are all still alive and healthy. So many bruddas lost a member of their family this year. I am grateful I didn't experience that.

Last year was hard. This year started like it was going to be harder but here I am, in a much better situation than I was. I developed better habits, was able to follow through on most of my commitments, almost achieved my goals but lost them to the wind (which is such a shame)... I also earned a lot and spent a whole lot more. I graduated school. My brother did too.

When I lost the progress I had made towards my goals this year, I felt like there was nothing more I could do this year. It was like all the energy I had got drained out of me along with the experience of grasping your goals but having it snatched because you were not holding onto it firmly.

I then gave myself to the National Service Scheme so my aunts can stop calling my phone and that of my parents. And, though it was difficult for the first month of the scheme, I met amazing people I wouldn't have met otherwise. I am grateful for that.
