Thankful for Life.

What a long journey this has been...

And yet there still such a long way to go...

What's so special about it, is that I'm enjoying every step along the way~

I am thankful for every single thing I have in this world.

I am thankful for a blessed, loving and supportive family.

I am thankful for a cool and awesome father who quit smoking many years ago not just because it was bad for his health, but it was also putting mine at risk.

I am thankful for a caring and patient mother who spent those days and nights helping me out with things I wouldn't have imagined possible without her help.

I am thankful for a great and wonderful big brother who gave me lots of advice, and prayed for me constantly.

I am thankful for my awesome friends, old or new, who brought in lots of laughter and joy into my student life.

I am thankful for the things in the past, be them pleasant or not, for without them I wouldn't be who I am today, typing all this right now.

I am thankful for what I had, have and will have.

As I have said, there is still an extremely long way to go in this journey...

... and in every step, there is always something new that colours my life.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CYNTHIA!!!" came shouts, messages and songs all over.

"Happy Birthday, my dear girl," came the sweet voice of my mother from the other side of the phone.

and just like that...

I'm 19 now...

... and I am thankful for that too.
