It's Christmas Eve Eve. I wanted to write a gratitude post because I have truly been busy these past weeks and I don't want to forget what and why I am here and doing all these busy things in the first place.
Truly thankful for so many things but to hightlight the best ones:
+ family
It has been more than a year since I lived away from my parents house. It was a difficult but life-chaniging decision. But despite not being with my family as often as I had been before, I am so thankful for them for accepting me whenever I go visit, for showing support to my endeavors and accepting my decision to be on my own. Everything's a process so in time, I trust that all of us, especially my father can fully accept in our hearts and minds.
+ great friends
Everyone can be considered a friend, even a good friend. But a great friend is a true gift from God. This year hadn't been easy. I have only one or two people in mind who stuck by me through everything, despite -- but never left. Oh, where and what would I be now without them.
+ work and talent
For this is what sustained me and is sustaining me everyday. Many times I complain and I regret each time I realize that. Thankful that I am able to do work that I love at my own time and still have time and energy to do other kinds of work. To be blessed with skills that allow others to see beauty in the world, that make bring happiness to others in whatever way possible.
+ peace and safety
Not forgetting what a great blessing it is to be in this place, to have a home and a community and environment that is safe to go out and explore anytime; the blessing of peace between people.
