Let Me Just Say #ThankYou For Everything This Season!

I say #ThankYou for new adventures!

If we felt last year was a year of challenges and grief, but we can look with hope and optimism. Believe me, I have been through so many moments of both good and bad. Looking back, we can actually say that we are thankful for everything that comes our way.

I have written so many posts when I was down, heartbroken, and angry. Despite the emotions in my writing, I rarely delete them because I can read them again and feel it with a different perspective. And this has been my mantra with what goes on with my life.

Whatever storms we face, time can bring us to an era of peace and we will be thankful for the lessons and emotions we felt during those days. 

Now I am in another phase of life which I can say the year I am very grateful. Not many would know that I have been working step by step to get my degree and in 2016 I finished it and will be joining the graduation ceremonies this 2017.
