It’s getting chilly and the wind start to blow stronger, maybe next week or soon the rain will come. Summer’s over so are the memories.

September hold so many memories, each year has its own memories.

Last September was a festive month, I laugh a lot and got so many fun experiences. Involved in so much fun and love and get to know lot of people

Yet September two years ago is a different kind of month. I cry a lot and start questioning my decision, I don’t know where to go and I doubt myself a lot, I don't know if I was in a right path or not, am I good enough?

But then suddenly, it’s September again.

I am halfway through the path I doubt two years ago, I am not really close with people that make me laugh last September. I’m not crying over that decision anymore. It’s September again, yet I am grow so much more than I used to be.

Come to think of it makes me realize that a year really can change so much, time really is taking care of everything.

So, rise up.

Even it feels so hard at the moment, even if it seems impossible

To survive another day is an art. Your breath, your smile, your presence is art itself.

What if you give up now without knowing what will happen tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow someone will smile because of your kindness, maybe someone will be grateful to be able to see you again. Maybe you will lighten up someone’s day by just smiling at them.

What will happen next year if you choose not to give up today? you’ll grow one year older than you are in this moment. You’ll become much more positive and love yourself more. You’ll discovered a new fact you know nothing about yourself. Maybe your favorite ice-cream shop will launch their new flavor and that will become your new favorite. Maybe the hard path you walk right now is leading you into something you’ll feel grateful about

“Nobody promises tomorrow”

Exactly.

That’s actually a great and powerful word to hear

Nobody in charge of my life, I am a free human being I can do what I want under my control.

And if you choose to live maybe you’ll say, “ah it’s already September again” and everything just fall into places. Healing and growing needs time so give it some

Just like my 2022 September grief doesn't last forever, so are the happiness of my 2023 September. At some point, it’ll get better and then it’ll get worse again. that’s life.

the key of surviving life is not about being positive all the time, but to master acceptance. accept the fact that life is life. accept the fact that you are you. and for me, I accept the fact that September is a month full of changes

and gratefully, it’s September again.
