“Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself.” ― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

This year, I am thankful for the friends and loved ones who are in my life. Sometimes, I feel sad that some people I expected to be part of my life are not anymore. I guess, life is not what you expect it to be. I am learning to let go and let fate it's own course. I may think now that some things might be hopeless but five or ten years from now, my life might not be what I imagine it to be right now. I just live life one day at a time and make wise decisions as choices and crossroads come. I guess the fun in living is that you never know what happens next.
