New Year, New Me!

          A friend of mine greeted me for this new year and she said in her message that I changed a lot compared to who I was before when we were still Juniors. I was so surprised at first because I didn't notice myself changing that much. But then, I realized that I did changed whether unconsciously or not and the problem is, I really don't know what changed in me. And the sad part? I didn't know if that change was good or not. Anyway, I have come to accept the fact. After all, CHANGE is constant. It always happens.
          I am not that fond in reading horoscopes and I don't believe in them either. But for some reason, I checked my horoscope for this year just for the sake of having fun. What I read there was astonishing because it said that I should get ready because I will totally transform this year. Somehow, I believe that a transformation will happen to me, And I'm going to make sure that it will be a positive transformation. I need to act if I want to change for the better.
          They say that each and every one of us has imperfections in life.We hurt people, we make bad decisions, we do a lot of mistakes and, sometimes, we have the tendency to disobey rules. I, for one, am that kind of person. I won't pretend that I am a saint because I think it's true that there's a darkness in my personality sometimes. Sometimes, I do bad things on purpose but most of the bad things I did are done without me meaning to hurt anyone. I did a lot of stupid and bad things last year and I hurt a lot of people including my practice teachers. If only I could turn back time and bring back every terrible thing I did. But sadly, I can't. What's done is done and those mistakes happened for a reason. I learned from them and it made me a better person somehow. Now, I know how to become sensitive of other's feelings.
          It is never too late to change, right? As long as we live, we can change and that is what I intend to do. A new year means a new start. "Bagong taon ay magbagong buhay." New year gives hope and a new life, I have my mistakes that that will serve as a foundation in building a better me.
