Christmas

Man I’m just so happy with life right now. I began to just accept things as they are, and I’m really grateful that things have worked out so well for me.

This Christmas tree, I believe is the same one we’ve had since I was in grade 4. That was over 10 years ago, and man I’m just so happy that we have a Christmas tree.

I lost a little bit of that drive for doing things all the time. I still want to work hard, but it’s a different type of working hard, the main difference being wanting to work hard for its own sake, and letting the results go to the wayside. I haven’t been as rigorous with my time, and I’m less effective, but I do feel like I’m a little bit more happy with my time.

I love my friends, I’m so glad I got Meckyle, Jeff, Rafei, Raihan, Taha, Arya, Sean, Gurm, Tano, Edwin, Aryan, Omar, Matei, Maleek, Samson the list is never ending but man I’m so happy that they are in my life. I know this listing is always changing too, but that’s fine because people come and go, that’s how life is. It’s always changing. I’m not holding onto experiences, things, or people that are gone, because it means I won’t be fully in the present appreciating all the great moments with my friends and family right now. It’s never going to get better than this, because I can’t even imagine a reality better than the one I’m living in right now. I have a loving family, a calm mind and a healthy body, it’s not that wouldn’t want more money, but I’m just content with what I have.

A key insight that hit a week ago with Alan, was that friends aren’t made at the parties, or through any fun activity. Those aren’t really your friends, those are just people that having fun. Friends are made in the trenches, the reason I have any friends at all, is because I’ve been there for them when they needed help, and they’ve been there for me. For example my brother, always said it’s going to be okay, even when I messed up, even when I hurt him, and I don’t think I’ve been able to be as good of a brother as he is to me.

You can’t really know a person at the fun party, when everything is going well, of course they seem like a great person, what could possibly go wrong?


Good luck on exams everyone ! Thank you God.
