Time used to pass so slow,
but in the blink of an eye we've become so old.
I wish I could travel back in time,
and to the good old days I'd arrive.
When we used to play carefree under the sun,
and the only thing we wanted to do was have fun.
But now we're about to go separate ways,
even though the first day of school seemed like yesterday.
I won't be seeing the same people as I walk through the halls,
and we'll all be in an unfamiliar place next fall.
But no matter how far apart we are,
I want to say that I'm so proud of all of us for making it this far.
Although I'm ready for a fresh start,
you all hold a special place in my heart.

When life is going downhill, and you're on the verge of giving up, you sometimes forget that the sky's the limit until you've hit rock bottom and force yourself to look up. Changing your outlook on life can remind you of all the possibilities you can achieve if you keep trying. ​

God's love is
beautiful like the springtime,
deep and wide as the sea,
mighty as an eagle,
His love cannot be beat. 

His mercy surpasses mountains.
His love abounds eternally.
He sent His son to save us.
He died for you and me. 

The Prince of Peace was crowned with thorns.
Our Savior was mocked and scorned.
Betrayed by His own for some coins.
To redeem us is why He was born. 

Everlasting, kind, merciful and true
His arms are still wide open, waiting,
to embrace us sinners like me and you
God, I don't say this enough but, thank you.

In 2024, one of my New Year's Resolutions is to spend more time appreciating God's everlasting love and abundant grace and mercy for me. 

Sometimes we feel
as if our voice
can be compared to
a single note in a melody.
But realize that
without your note,
the melody could not
have turned into a beautiful song. 

I don't feel ready.
Not yet, not now.
I just want to take it slow and steady.
But the same opportunities may not be endowed.

Take advantage of what life gives you.
You can't keep waiting for yourself forever.
It's okay if you don't have a single clue.
But if it's not now, it may be never.

So take a leap of faith.
Find your courage from within.
There's no time to hesitate.
Your endeavor is just starting to begin.

Inspired by the quote:
"If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives" by Lemony Snicket

You can only seize the moment if you let go of the past.
So don't regret your choices because life goes by too fast.

Don't regret the decisions you make.
We make mistakes, learn from them, and move on to better things.
Later, we'll realize that everything happens for a reason.

A goal is a hopeless dream without a journey.
​A journey is a meaningless effort without a goal.

There are a lot of things beyond our control.
Tomorrow possesses unlimited possibilities we don't know.
It's okay to be anxious about what the future holds.
But remember to make the most of now instead of worrying about the unknown.

We never know what'll happen in the future.
We can't change the past.
So don't worry about tomorrow,
because today hasn't passed.
I know it's easy to forget
to love ourselves and remember to live.
So just make sure you won't regret,
​the things not yet done or left unsaid.
