2016.

A brand new year to be thankful for
I really wonder how this would turn out to be but I truly hope it will be much kinder and more fulfilling than the last one. This is the first time I gotta spend the holidays and NYE without most of my beloved ones physically around... They are all scattered around the globe and we're oceans apart. A new year doesn't mean things will change. The last day of 2015 is not apart from the first day of 2016. It's just the same as any days in the calendar. Change will only occur if we make it happen. To be honest, I am not that happy. There's a lot of emptiness that I need to fill up inside. However, I truly want to be positive this year. Being away from people I care for... missing a lot of faces and personalities... not being able to do a lot of things I dream of doing... not being able to go to places where I wanna go to...loneliness is only natural... but this year, despite all that, I truly wanna have a brighter year. I wanna see things differently and count my blessings more than my shortcomings. I want to believe that I can do this. I want to believe that I am capable. I want to be stronger and happier. I need to decide on this matter and not to wait for things to rearrange on its own. I need a stronger self this new year. がんばって❗️
So help me God. 2016 will be a great year. I will claim it.

明けましておめでとうございます❗️ ( ^ω^ )
