something to back me up: a letter to mySELF

Dear Self,
For the past 12mos, you experienced a lot of struggles in life. The things that made you strong, brave and hopeful. There were times that you almost lost your faith to God but you were able to find your way back. You've always been so generous for you can always give what you have and find ways to give what you have not. I know that you are wishing for something that is not yet possible, maybe never. But try to enjoy the things around you while you wait for that chance to happen. Enjoy life to the fullest! Keep safe. I know you will because you have God with you. Your kindest heart is your weapon to face the struggles that you have in life. Continue showing your good heart to others no matter how they respond to it. Always cherish the good memories that you have with friends, family and special someone. And learn from the worst experience that happened into your life. So the next time you face the same scene, you know how to handle it. Continue to fight for what you believe in but always remember to surrender if you need to. Be happy and put a smile in every little thing that you do. Always take care of yourself and your heart most especially. I'm looking forward for a better YOU :) May this year be more colorful and joyful to you.

Always be MJ

It has been only three months since this year has started but it seems that I have struggled a lot. It really makes sense when you keep track on what you have been through. Because by this means you will be able to know how strong you have been. This “letter to myself” that I wrote on my journal as the year started made me think of it. Aha! Indeed time passes so swiftly for you to realize that you have been stronger than ever. Depressing moments will show you what real happiness and joy is. It is always hidden in your thoughts because you think too much of the non-sense or let us just say the unnecessary. I remember someone told me “Life is what you make.” That person makes me draw the best out of me by his words that are sometimes stabbing me so deep because of the reality. I so missed him. Life is really mysterious; you won’t know what may happen next. This year may have started challenging that I almost felt so weak but I think it is too soon to give up. There are still a couple of counting months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds that I have to go through. So keep pushing Mary!
