Cheers to a New Year

-


The year 2020 has been a nice year for me despite that it brought unprecedented struggle to other people. Despite the struggle and how terrible it has been for other people, I'm still thankful for 2020 and the things that came along the way in my life. 2020 was a year of starting anew and the continuation of something beautiful. 

I'm thankful that I have my job when other people are not too fortunate to keep theirs. I'm thankful that my family and friends are healthy and I've learned more not to take a normal breath for granted. I'm thankful for my peers at work who are always helping me. I'm thankful that I've been able to afford what I needed and also have the capacity to give to other people. I'm thankful that I haven't lost my passion in writing. I'm thankful that I've been able to start a foundation on my future venture into business. I'm thankful for the luxury. I'm thankful of what I've been able to accomplish. I'm thankful of GOD's grace. I'm thankful for the wisdom everyday. I'm thankful that I've never gone hungry. I'm thankful for the shelter in this winter. I'm thankful for my family and friends. I'm thankful that my work means something to other people. I'm thankful that I'm able to support other people. I'm thankful for the new experiences and the new insights. I'm thankful for the pressure and the understanding. I'm thankful for the good things and I'm thankful for the problems that are currently being solved. I'm thankful for 2020 for I'm still here.

(genre: mature, psychological, short story) I love Superman. When I first discovered Superman as a kid, I never stopped reading about him. I thought to myself 'like wow, this guy's pretty awesome.' How he was able to leap the tallest building on a single bound, how he's faster than a speeding locomotive, how nothing can hurt him. I mean, he's the best. I wanted to be like him because he's unstoppable. Nothing can stop him. Well, there's the kryptonite, but that just adds drama and effect and he's never been beaten before. So, yeah, I love Superman and he's my hero.  I wanted to be like Superman and I always bought a lot of comic books. I tried drawing him and I found it funny how he was wearing his underwear outside. But then I just kept on drawing him over and over, until I didn't mind the underwear that he wore outside. I mean does that mean he doesn't have an underwear inside? Anyway, I memorized drawing him and I loved drawing his logo. H

(genre: short-story, romance) I would fancy recalling how I felt when you fell asleep on my shoulder. How it brought a smile. It was a few years back when we barely knew each other.

If you remember, we were with some friends. We were all having fun then. Playing cards and munching nuts, we were talking about the stuff we can do after we graduate. Of course you were beside me laughing; suddenly you taught me how to be a standup comedian. Moreover, I could still remember how you picked on me when I lost the third time playing a stupid card game. Now I realize it’s not just a stupid card game after all. I didn’t mind. However, the presence of all my friends around me comforts my being. It is funny how I finally understood myself. It all changed. I, being eccentric and solitary, slowly adapted to a social being. A monster, I would
