AN OPEN LETTER TO MYSELF I’VE BEEN THIS 2020
You did a great job this year, self! It was really a job well done, surviving this tough year, congratulations!
You started this year with a big smile in your face knowing that what you’ve been through last 2019 will be finally paid off. You are enthusiastic that your silent battles last year will be wash off because you can get the fruit of it this year. But, life is really do unfair and unpredictable.
You started to feel down and sad because things really doesn’t goes by your favor. Your plans, travels, and many stuffs you wanted to do canceled. Because of that unpredictable pandemic. The whole world is crying and so you are. You started again to doubt yourself, like last year. You started to isolate yourself to many people because you felt that your progress stopped here.
But girl, you are strong! Life maybe tough but so you are! You never let those sadness and anxiety eat you. You are grateful to Mitch Albom who shared his teacher’s thought, Prof. Morrie, that “dedicate yourself to creating that gives you purpose and meaning”; that “the most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in”, on his book Tuesdays with Morrie… it is really gives you hope to know your purpose in life. Thank you for those inspiring books, shows and people who inspired you to still be positive in this situation until you finally get there. To the place you really dreamed of.
And God is really so good. Before the this year ends, he finally answered it. You finally started to get each pieces of yourselves that you felt unwanted when you are sad. You finally realized, that it is not really the end of time when somethings really can’t get out of your way. But it is an encouragement to continue to fight for you life that you really wish and pray for. You realized as well, that life, maybe short and unpredictable so you should make the best out of it, but you should be careful.
You’ve learned and realized so many things this year; that life is unpredictable so you should be always prepared to what it will served to you; that love maybe comes in the most unexpected time of your life but it is still up to you to pursue it. But most of important thing is that you know, that you are the writer, director and the actor of your own story and you have the power to do what will happened on it next based on you decisions.
And so far, I think, you always do your best on creating it. JOB WELL DONE, SELF!
