Goodbye 2023

The year 2023 brought me more tears than laughters. It had been a dark journey but through God‘s unending grace, I was able to carry on.

The previous year taught me so many life learnings.

I have learned in a hard way…

…that the only time you will know the people who truly care is during your darkest times…never in good times.

…that no matter how much you love a person, but if they don’t love you as much as you do, it’s never going to work out.

…that sometimes, the people you least expected to care are the ones who will be there to willingly lend their shoulders for you to cry on.

…that usually, especially when you are going through so much, hugs are more helpful than words.

…the real difference between friends and acquaintances.

…to let go of people and circumstances that constantly give me pain and heartaches, and now I no longer care.

…that prayers do matter.

…that when things are beyond your control, you only have God to depend on.

Random Thoughts #10

Loneliness doesn’t come from being alone. It comes from the feeling that nobody cares.

Being sad doesn’t always mean you are alone. It sometimes comes from being around with people but you feel that not a soul cares.

Being sad and lonely doesn’t always mean you don’t have anyone to give your hearts to. You actually do, but these people chose to break your hearts just because they always find in another anything that they can’t find in you.

Random Thoughts #9

When a depressed person is feeling low, one of the most helpful, effective ways to alleviate the haunting feeling of depression is by talking to them. Whether or not a depressed person say it out loud, they really need someone who would listen to them.
