My 2021 Realizations Before 2021 Ends

The year 2021 gave me the time to be on my feet again. It gave me hope to continue thriving and make the best out of life. Year 2022 is near yet, I am still processing 2020. I know most of us are. Year 2020 was hard. A lot of things happened and most things didn't go as planned.

My 2020 was heartbreaking that I was depressed for most months. I didn't have a great connection with my family and friends that year. My dreams were shattered. Everything that I was preparing for the past years were wiped in an instant. I blamed myself for that. If I were been cautious or acted more decisively, everything should have been different. However, time flies and it don't care if you're not ready yet. It will go on and you have to face everything, both the consequences of your past and the urgency of the present. I realized, life is harder when you're an adult. Everyday you need to make decisions and take responsibility in everything you do unlike with children, everything is up to their parents.

Having graduated my minor years, I took all my courage to move on and made my 2021 better. Slowly, I forgave and comforted myself that it's okay because sometimes things are not in our control and it is what it is. I can't just stay sulking and grieving for my what ifs. I need to be better and make this year serene and productive than last year. I'd taken paths and I didn't know I would take. Yes, It was scary. It was a whole new thing from what I have wanted but I needed to do something to fuel the drive that I lost. Gradually, I started to get more active. I did the things I was assigned, not passionately but diligently. I may not be doing what I loved but, doing something is better than doing nothing. I began to read more and became interested in personal development.

I can't say that it made me become a whole new person, or change my vision in life, or it made me gain huge achievements. I could say that it made see more things clearly. It erased the fog of my anxieties and what ifs. It stopped me to occasionally reminisce the past and made me live the present and positively look forward to the future.

Year 2021 was a year of redemption, forgiveness, hope, and healing for me. I learned to let go of things that aren't my control and treasured every moments that count the most. Lastly, I wish you guys the best and cheers for a new blessed year for all of us!

The House in the Cerulean Sea Review

The House in the Cerulean Sea is a wonderful wholesome book written by Tj Klune, a brilliant writer. The story started with Mr. Linus Baker, who is a casewoker of DICOMY or Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He was tasked of a very classified assignment. To go stay for a whole month in an orphanage and observe 6 "problematic" children and the house master Arthur Parnassus. He was unprepared and shocked but what could go wrong in an orphanage full of classified persons. They are just children, right? This book was what I needed. It was a light read, great storytelling, wonderful use of words, and something that touched my heart. It brings me back to being a child. It was nostalgic and refreshing. I recommend it to people who want a short escape.

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens is a story about Kya Clark, dubbed as the " Mash girl" in their town. It tells how she bravely survived in a cabin all alone and how her life intertwined with two boys from her town. Honestly, I relate to Kya. I am an introvert and I have my own world that I enjoy very much It is an exquisite book that contains thrill, love and poetry. The storytelling of the writer is comprehensible and very vivid.

A Review on the Book " The Absolutely True Diary of a Part - Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part - Time Indian is a young adult novel by Sherman Alexie. Its main character is Junior who born with water on the brain and an Indian living on a reservation. In the book, Junior narrates his story, on how he was bullied, persuaded by his teacher to transfer school, fitted in in his new all-white school, and struggled to bring back the trust of his best friend. This book was fun to read because of the way the writer delivered the story and accompanied by adorable illustrations. I was really hooked of Junior's life, his culture, lifestyle, thoughts and decision in life. Honestly, I am impressed by him, that no matter how bad the situation is, he still have a positive outlook and continued his life without delving in the past. He proved that no matter how disabled, unskilled, poor, and unlikable you are, you can still make the best out of life. I really relate to Junior because I am too, is raise in and now struggling in poverty, but still I fight
