A Letter For Twenty Eighteen

Last Updated on: 5th January 2019, 05:29 pm

Hello 2018,

The past 3 years had been a beautiful disaster. I’ll start with the beautiful part – I graduated from college, have been to new places, had my first slumber party with friends, met new people and had a job just 2 months after I graduated. And then everything changed when I entered the corporate world. Little did I know that this would be the start of the disaster that almost destroyed my faith in myself and God.

Honestly, with all the shit I’ve been through, I don’t know what to expect from you. It doesn’t feel like a New Year to me – even with the fireworks, celebration and all, it feels empty. I didn’t feel a change, because I know in myself that I’m not living my life yet.  But one thing for sure, the fact that I’m still alive- it’s a sign that many, many opportunities will come for me. And God is giving me a second chance to make things right, to live the life I really wanted. I won’t expect any more from you 2018, but I’ll be ready. I might fall down again, but I will pick myself up, just like what I’ve done in the past 3 years.

I’ll give you a welcoming embrace 2018, even with the doubts running in my head. This is me being fearless- I’m scared to fall but will jump anyway. This time, I’ll let go and let God.
