seasons change

I was truly delighted to see the tree bloomed last month, just as it did around the same time last year. The only difference was that only one tree blossomed, while the others remained bare. 

Last year, however, was a completely different experience. All fifteen trees bloomed, and I was ecstatic! The fragrant scent wafted through the air, stirring up a wave of nostalgia within me. 

Life constantly presents us with a variety of surprises. Some days bring exciting news, while others deliver less favorable outcomes. It all about the cycle. Not everything aligns in our favour, and we always feel that the universe isn't quite ready to grant us our wishes. 

Last year was fairly giving as I was able to travel back home thrice, making sure I get to visit some friends and relatives, or attend a very important milestone in the family. Those visits were truly meaningful, recapturing lost moments and strengthening old relationships. It was all about the connections we share.  

This is only the third of the month of 2025, yet, the world seemed to be unforgiving and giving more of an icky feeling as days progress. Though some people might say to shrug off negativities, I probably would even face them with hope. I needed a clear mindset as I am not feeling well. This stems up from my workplace and the unending thoughts of why, and why not. 

I won't be negative, and would still hope that the next months would be about cherished memories and connections. I am still thinking if I should meet my best friend whom I have not seen for many years as he is far away with his family. I am still debating whether I should go on a trip with my high school friends. I am still deciding whether I should take a new responsibility in my workplace. I am still planning on what to do to be able to care and love myself.  

Each year might be different but each year is a chance to grow.
