Yesterday my friend who is also a blogger introduced me to 365 project where I will post everyday for 365 days. Of course as we all know it equates to one year. I figured it was a pretty cool idea to write everyday. So I decided to go for it.
But last night, I reflected on the things that happened to me the entire day and decided to start this 365 project on March 25, 2014.
Why that day? Because 365 days from that day, I will have my very own diploma in college. Finally after I don't know how many years, I can escape this hell hole. I'm not saying that I do not want to live here or I have a bad life here. Believe me, this place means more to me than any other place. But sometimes I feel like I don't belong here. So yeah, figure it out and you'll get what I'm saying here.
So monumental moments. Ever had that chance that you are in a situation where everything that ever happened in your life flashes before your eyes? Yeap, that didn't happened to me. What happened is the complete opposite of that. I was sitting on the bench when I was approached by my classmate. It was really nothing at first, typical girl conversation. Then she tells me something that I, on the other end of the conversation was caught in the moment. I don't know if what she said also played a significance to my other classmate but it surely was to me. Another moment is where you receive something so unexpected, so unfair that even if you want to break down and scream at that someone (specifically you professor) you just can't.
Which got me thinking.
Monumental moments happens everyday in our lives. Sometimes we distinguish them right away but often times we just overlook them. We always say that monumental moments are the ones that changes our life. A promotion, a marriage proposal or in this case graduation perhaps, these are the typical ways we know we experience a monumental moment. What we don't recognized are the moments that plays more significance to us than we think. These are the times where we run out of luck. Failing an exam, insulted by a professor, cheated by your husband or boyfriend, betrayed by your friend. These are the moments where you won't need your negative thinking. What we need to think when facing these kinds of scenarios is that things happen because they are meant to happen. Cheated by your boyfriend? Maybe because in the next five months and you will Mr. Right and you do not want to be conflicted right? Diagnose to have a lung cancer? Be thankful that at least you still got a day ti make things right not unlike who didn't have the opportunity to have second chances. Failed an exam? This will make you strive more. And the list goes on and on.
What I'm really saying here is "appreciate" each and every moment of your life. Each moment is monumental, We just have to open our eyes and see them.
