365 | EPILOGUE: This is our NOW

"No man ever steps the same river twice."

Heraclitus, one of the notable ancient Greek philosophers believed that the only constant thing in life is change. Well, in reality, nothing stays the same as how it used to be back then. Evidently, our personalities and perspectives change through our experiences. The collection of wisdom we earned in those 365 days in a rewind became the basis of some trendy New Year's Resolutions.

- I will stop overthinking...
- I'll study harder...
- I'll do better at work...
- I won't be late anymore, promise that this coming year I'll be coming to school early...
- I'mma be facing fear, not a kid anymore but I'm still afraid to fail...

But before this list of resolutions, what have you gone through?

For many, the waves of life are just a smooth sailing voyage. Nothing to worry about can easily be dealt with and is shaped with positivity and great memories.

While with others, life turns out to be so cruel. Comprised of heartbreaking events. For these people, some moments somehow tend to be emotionally, mentally, and even spiritually challenging.

For me, this year must have been tough but indeed it was amazingly comprised of sensational memories. There were times when I was on cloud nine, in triumph and also in grievance. People literally come and go. It was a total roller coaster. However, we live to survive and that's just how life is.

Life is definitely fair for it is unfair to everyone. We think of giving up but later on, we realize what was it that we've been chasing and keep on fighting for. No matter what life has to throw at you, go on and move forward. Life is a cycle, we may face obstacles ahead of us and that's how we become a bold individual.

We are human, we have fun, make mistakes, go through breakdowns, and come to realizations and that's how we learn those life lessons. A chapter on how we grow, develop, and overcome.

Your story might have been a television series but at least you thrive. You've already fallen, you broke, you tore, you sweat and you have internally and externally been wounded. 365 days in a Ferris wheel with a twist, more important is what you've learned from those encounters. Just as Heraclitus believed, may you not repeat your previous mistakes and make a change for the better. 2023 was a wrap for every one of us, that's it, you already come to your life chapter's epilogue.

Looking forward to next year is a cycle of healing, transformation, blessings, and success. Let's start anew and leave the past behind, however, don't forget it, just try to look at it by taking a deep breath and with a beautiful smile. It's still a long way to go on to but you're already far from where you've started. Imagine, you now turned out to be a warrior with a shielded armor that can't easily be fooled and who's braver than before. You totally deserve a tap on the back, keep up, you still have a long way to go.

I have lived through volume 18 of my existence. How about you, what book volume are you closing as you go on to welcome 2024?

Unwrapping Memories: A Magical Ride to Childhood Christmases

Do you still remember what Christmas was like during childhood? Because I still do, and I believe most of you do too.

They say childhood memories are timeless treasures of the heart, indeed it is! One of the magical memories of our childhood that we carry with us, is the Christmases we had. Back when we were so much younger than we are today, Christmas excites us to the fullest. As young ones, we once believed that real magic happens during Christmas time.

Childhood Christmas memories are the long-gone times we'd always want to look back to because it makes us smile. And sometimes we even wish we could travel back in time and stay there for a little while. But for all we know it is completely impossible to do so. However, as long as we hold on to these memories we can always relive those moments again in our minds.

All it takes is to close our eyes and allow our minds to take the flight toward the memory lane of those magical moments. Do you remember how the cold breeze of the ber months made you feel the Christmas spirit? How about sitting in front of your television, watching the last part of the news during the 100-day countdown to Christmas Day? Or the kids who come singing Christmas carols in front of your house and how your parents made you give them some coins.

Let's not forget also those moments where we should always tag along with the entire family during simbang gabi because our parents said Santa likes kids who go to church. The Christmas lights and decorations of the streets, shops, and houses that got our eyes completely mesmerized. The Christmas playlist that our mothers played during the time even if Halloween hasn't even arrived yet. And the loud bangs from the "lantaka" played by the boys during the Christmas break.

Those moments when we get so excited because our titas, titos, and cousins are coming home for Christmas Eve. The times when the parents get so busy in the kitchen preparing for Noche Buena, while we as children are dancing in a silly way to Boom Tarat Tarat and singing Star ng Pasko at the top of our lungs even if we're not singing the lyrics correctly. Remember also how our parents told us to sleep before midnight so that Santa would give us chocolates. And when the clock almost strikes 12 we'd wake up to a loud Videoke or a bunch of different songs from the neighborhood. And how we truly believed that the Christmas presents under the tree, and the socks with chocolate and candies inside are really from Santa.

Remember all those times when a piece of chocolate bar could make you smile, how parols and other Christmas decors could make you feel excited, and how wishing to Santa made you so hopeful that magic will happen as long as you stay good? Those times, those moments, those are the ones that have truly created magic on our childhood.

Christmas might never be that "magical" again because our childhood innocence has long gone away. Yet, I still think there are still so many things we could do to make our Christmas extra special with our loved ones. Let's just tis the season and celebrate with so much love.
