To stand strong amidst this cruel world, to keep steadfast and cheerful despite one & 039;s sorrow, and to live with no visible weakness. This is the principle I used to live by, but until when could my weak spirit endure the ever growing agony? Last year measured me of my limits, realizing I was weak all along. This year perhaps is the chance for me to be better and to release the pain of the past that strikes within, so I promised myself never to hold back my tears again. To cry without hesitation and let my tears flow freely out of pain. Somehow I found the peace I longed-for, it soothes my soul, it eases my spirit. It & 039;s my moment to cherish my newfound happiness in the form of my tears. I aim to study harder in my field of interests, and be more inclined to pursue my career. Despite my failures, I know I can still be better. To improve my fondness in artistry and drawing. Despite lacking of resources, I know can be more creative. To pursue better in writing, an asset of mine that I neglected long ago. Despite my lack of experience, I know I can still make up to it. Lastly, to commit fully to myself, improve my confidence, build my new persona as a character who smiles when in joy, frowns when in sorrow, cries when in pain, and will remain truthful to himself. My new principle this year 2021 perhaps is, To be able to love oneself, is to acknowledge one & 039;s own strengths and weaknesses.
