“The moment before the sunrise.”
As the year ended, I took this time to reflect and sort out my realisations of 2020. The year that taught us lots of things.
I started the year full of mixed emotions; excitement, anxiousness, fear, joy and hope. As I tried to looked back on everything that happened to me, I am somehow proud of myself but also feel regretful, as I wish I did better. My journey going here in Malta is really a big life changing decision for me. I took big risk to left everything I have in the Philippines, my family, my friends, my job, my comfort. I had to be brave to face this new journey on my own. I do not have anyone beside me except myself. I have to depend and rely on myself. But I am still beyond BLESSED that GOD put and surrounded me with good people. People whom I can say, became a big assurance and comfort when I am away from my family. Living with people you just met for the first time is not easy, you have to be more humble and learn how to go with their flow but ofcourse we cannot always please everyone as conflicts and problems will arise but you just have to be wise and be firm with your choices and decisions in life. Life will always challenge you, and it is up to you how are you going to react to it. 2020 is really not a good year but it still taught us lots of things. It taught us how we can look up and pay more attention to our health and hygiene. 2020 thought us that discipline and patience will keep us away from danger and all negativities. It also teaches us to be more grateful and appreciative of the things that we have. If we will just took the time to reflect and see the brighter side of things, we can say that GOD really is amazing. Maybe, for some of us 2020 is a painful year as we might lose our loved ones, it ended lots of relationships, career, jobs and even brought hunger but still we should be THANKFUL as I am sure there’s also something GOOD and BENEFICIAL happened to us whether small or big. And as this year ended, we are just hoping for better, brighter year ahead. We should not only hope but put an action as well. As maybe, change your mindset; do more; be more as I am sure if we do, that definitely 2021 will be a better year!
I hope that this reflection of mine helps you to do your realizations and get you through the coming days.
