Turning 30 in 38623 minutes

As I write this, most of my closest friends have turned 30... I am almost the last. And I thought I'd like to re-live my memories as I count the days to the new phase of my life.

I have loved and hated.
I have almost drowned, crashed and died.
I have forgiven and forgotten.
I have severed ties and also rekindled them.
I have let go of toxic relationships.
I have learnt to cherish,
I have found hope and lost it once again.
I have survived my darkest days.
I have found myself, and continue to discover more.
I have lied, cheated and been dishonest.
I have done good to reap karma.
I have travelled alone, with friends or family.
I have been loved.
I have friends I thank God for.
I have had great bosses and also shitty ones.
I have people whom came into my life as my guardian angels or bad asses, both I learnt many things from.
I have learnt and never stop learning.
I have done myself proud, my parents proud and occasionally those whom I meant something to.
I have had days I was ashamed, disgraced or humiliated.
I have done things I regretted, and hopefully not anymore.
I have succeeded and failed.
I have my courageous days and times I just want to shrink my head back in the shell.
I have been lucky, and also many times unlucky.
I have many fond memories of those dear to my heart but whom have left.
I have many unanswered wishes and endless faith.

I think I could go on and on.... I have no idea why I am writing this, but suddenly it just came to me. I want to share with you guys that life is all about balance. There's always good and bad, there's always up and down. We can pick ourselves up if you want to, we can always see the positive side of things if you want to. There's a lot of things within our control if you want to take control of it. That includes saving our planet. There's no doubt there are bad times, there's also no doubt there are people whom want to make others' lives miserable. We can find happiness within ourselves, and we don't need it to come from others, to reassure us. I hope all of you find contentment in the simple things in life, because in fact we do not need much to be happy.
