I've been thinking about this lately, that it isn't enough to just think about the times when I was happy. It is also important to look back on my saddest of moments in the past, but not to dwell on it anymore—just a reminder that I have been through a lot before, but look, I was able to survive. I highly appreciate my successes in this life, it's so easy to embrace it; and now I'm trying to do the same thing towards my downfalls, because despite the defeat, I am able to rise again, and learn how to deal with the failures.

Can't believe I am this strong, and I am proud I became one.
