takin' no break (from life)
Things I've learned during break:
1. My family means the world to me. For some reason, I feel so much closer to my family this year. The day I finished finals and when my bro came home, we all sat in my parents' room, listening to my dad tell us stories of his early adulthood, among other things. Christmas was beautiful. I hadn't had the 'traditional' Christmas celebration in 2 years, and quite frankly, I don't know how many are left. But I loved every second spent with my family this holiday. And now I get to see some actual relatives of mine whom I absolutely adore so much. My cousin and I have laughed our asses off the past couple of days, shared so many stories and secrets about our family members.. even talking in our chinglish is so ridiculously funny.
2. I need change. I need to adjust to a world that's full of changes. It's funny though.. in guard, I never really minded the changes to our work/drill/whatever. It became so mundane that it would be an actual change if we didn't have anything in the show to change. haha. I once told a friend that I never wanted anything to change, including myself. But I found myself looking at the past, wanting the past like a safety blanket... and that's never gonna get me anywhere. So here's to a new start.
3. I need to get myself a damn cat. Oh yes. I'm gonna steal the one I saw yesterday- it was so freaking adorable. But I know it has a wonderful home, and I would hate to take away someone else's beloved cat. BUT when I get a place all to myself, the first thing I'm going to get is a cat. I don't care if I don't have a bed yet. That cat will be my pillow. ahahaha.
4. To a willing heart, nothing is impossible. I should wear that everyday.
5. Note to self: You're not losing anything. Everything happens for a reason. And no matter what, life will go on, gosh darn it!
happy new year, everyone.
