Yet Another Year Ending!

Hello, self!

Hope you are doing well.

This past year has been rough on you. Things haven't always gone as how you intended them to. 

Life wasn't what you expected of it. 

You were literally drowning in pits of negativity, guilt and regret. 

Not to forget the stress and anxiety from the toxic work culture that is growing so blatantly.

Not to forget the injustices in the everyday world that you live in. 

Not to forget the heart wrenching pain suffered by people far unfortunate than you.

But these aren't reasons to put yourself down and make the coming year even more painful.

These aren't reasons to let yourself drown further and devour pessimism and depression.

In fact, nothing is ever a reason to make something that's lying in the future worse.

Because hope is no propaganda. It is a real thing that needs to be glorified and held closer to the heart.  

Hope is the best of things and no good thing ever dies, as the Dufresne says.

So, I would like you and everyone else to take this present moment to just slow down and pause.

And hope.

That the coming year would be great. Even with the pandemic eating at our souls and hearts.

That we remember to remember the things we would always be grateful for, than to remember the reasons why we are sad.

That we see love, kindness, humanity, grace, peace, bliss and joy throughout the world and in our own hearts.

Not a big thing to ask, is it? :)
