Farewell to my 24th year

Today is the end of my 24^th year and I decided to contemplate about what happened during my 24^th year here on earth. Then, I begin to compile its highlights through a picture.

It has been a significant year for me since I have made decisions which taught me to give up some things and face new challenges in life. Also, it was a year to appreciate life as I celebrate each day with new and old people in my life.

It was a year to say hello to a new romantic relationship and say goodbye before I will be turning 25 tomorrow. The experience had taught me how to love without being afraid to be hurt.

It was year where I decided to quit my job and go home. I left Maxima and my spiritual family in QC. It was a tough decision for me which cause me a series of sleepless nights as I made that choice. Before I went home, my VCF family had given me a birthday and farewell party.

Because of that decision, fortunately I was given a chance to work in SOCOTECO-I where I welcomed so many new faces in my life. I have met new and wonderful people who have been my support system during the transition.

With my new work, it had provided me opportunities to travel to the beautiful Palawan. Also, it made me go back to UP again when I was given a chance to participate in one of the trainings given by UP National Engineering Center (NEC).

Lastly, I’ve been with my family and high school friends for most part of my 24^th year. With them, they made my life more colorful as I attended different occasions, such as birthdays and weddings. Many times that I know I have hurt them, but still have loved me for being me. Whatever my season during my 24th year, my family and friends are always there for me and I thank God for it.

There are so many new things happened in my life. And these new things had thought me how to live this beautiful life which God has given me. Throughout my 24^th year, I have experienced a tough but a meaningful life.  And those experiences had mold me to be who I am right now and will help me to be ready as I face my 25^th birthday tomorrow.


So before I bid farewell to my 24th year, I want to say thank you for all the people who's been part of it. Because without you, my life would be different.
