I suppose those who have their birthdays at the end of the year will have the same feeling. Having just officially announced your age as it is and you have to change it one up again. It's going to be goodbye 20 and next is 21. We are all getting older.
Christmas was three days ago, despite of the decreasing amount of presents that I have been receiving over the years, it was by far my happiest Christmas. I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact I just got baptised a week ago with my family. Yes, after 19 years of being a Christian and after varying number of years for my family members we finally got baptised. Maybe it was that, maybe accepting Christ into our lives changed that.
Christmas was by far a dreading moment for me, same goes to Chinese New Year, where everyone will come back and I will have to see a number of people I'm not that familiar with and feel like an outcast among them. Suffering through all that for 19 years, it's actually weird to be experiencing Christmas happily and with joy. I'm still playing Christmas carols on my laptop now LOL. And that was probably one of the reasons my exam mood is still not here. Yes, I'm having finals now.
Bringing that up, I wonder what made me give up my previous dreams of not being a college student but go on a more exciting adventure, going places and doing things that I've never done before. What made me give up that life for this I wonder. After failing my paper yesterday (well the results are not out yet but I guess that would be mine though) I am a bit depressed. And I would probably cry if I'm not smiling now.
For whatever reasons you are feeling depressed for now, smile, for what I learned for the paper yesterday (neuroscience), the mind affects the body as how the body affects the mind. Feeling depressed tempts you to release your anger or stress or wanting to find someone to confide in, at the same time smiling will trick your brain into a happy mood, so you'll end up happier than before and note this, everything will pass, as how this year is going to pass and aloha 2017!
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6 -
Tis' the season of joy, hope and love for Christ was born on this day 2016 years ago for us.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
