Thanksgiving 2013 | Diary

Another year has gone by, another thanks to give.

First of all, I'm really thankful for everything my eyes were able to see this year, from my mom and sister's smile, my best friends pixelated faces, my roommies' drunk faces, to the amazing landscapes of the world.

I'm thankful for learning how to forgive myself, for finally understanding the meaning of being free and for getting rid of my own demons.

I'm thankful for the stories I will tell for the rest of my life, that are so unbelievable most people will think I'm exaggerating.

I'm thankful for being able to feel real adrenaline rushes, for starting a new chapter in an unknown place, with no friends, no comfort zone; that's really pure adrenaline.

I'm thankful with God for showing me how strong I am and that life is as hard as you can manage. Because even when this year I was in my lowest point, now it is amazing to see everything from the top!

I'm thankful for learning to live for myself, to be happy by myself and to be loved by myself.

I'm thankful because even with the longest distance, every time I hear my mother's voice I feel like home.

But the thing I am most thankful for is that no matter how bad life can feel from a point, now I am sure it always get better.
