I’m glad that I have made it to today alive and fresh. It’s been 15 years and 6 months since I’ve stepped foot into this universe. We have all had hard times, obviously. But the way we dealt with it isn’t the way others have dealt with it. The input may be the same but the central processing unit is unique for each of us and thus the outcome.

For instance someone dear to you died. The sudden event of it has put you in a pit of terror. Some take a few days to move on, others may take months even years. I personally think that it's not about how long it took you to return back to normal, instead it's how much you've learned to get back up and stand on your feet. It's about how you still believed in dreaming of going to Japan even when you knew it is far more expensive than going to Paris.
