My List of “Thank Yous”

So a friend posted this link on Twitter on New Year’s Eve. It’s one of the most beautiful, heartfelt, honest writings I’ve ever read. Thank you so much, Yulie, for sharing this wonderful piece. 

And here’s my list of “thank yous” to me:

• Thank you for always being true, for not trying to be someone else to impress people.

• Thank you for always trying your best in everything.

• Thank you for taking care of yourself in the best ways possible.

• Thank you for not being afraid to admit your mistakes and to apologize when you know it’s the right thing to do.

• Thank you for being honest to yourself and acknowledging your feelings.

• Thank you for not being ashamed of your past, to let tears rolling down your face even when people see it as a sign of weakness.

• Thank you for having the guts to pursue your dreams, and having the courage to surrender it all.

• Thank you for trying new things and jumping into adventures.

• Thank you for cutting some slack when you choose not to do something you want because you know it’s best not to.

• Thank you for growing and being better instead of bitter.

• Thank you for appreciating simple things and smiling with them.

• Thank you for forgiving yourself. Thank you for forgiving life.

• Thank you for loving yourself.

I love you.
