I truly appreciate those people who are aware of the happenings in my life. Those people who know about the things that I suffered from. Those people who validate my feelings. Those who remember my sacrifices. Those who continue to remain beside me, and are always all ears to listen to my rants, stories, and sorrows. Those who are with me to celebrate my small successes and achievements in life.
I learned in life that true and real friends are the people who are hardest to find. Similar to precious stones, they are rare to cultivate. Throughout my life, I have never been vocal to people to share with them about my sufferings.
My silent cries and battles remained undiscovered. I used to celebrate and enjoy my breakthroughs on my own because I also used to believe that nobody would really love to celebrate with me.
I used to think that I am the one who is responsible for my own. That people would never truly care for me. My entire life was a roller coaster ride wherein I am the only rider. I learned to continue on my own with insufficient support (emotional and psychological) and guidance from others. I used to wipe my tears all by myself. But regardless of everything that I experienced in life, I am thankful for the lessons it engraved within my heart and my mind.
I had so much silent suffering, almost endless weeps, and battles from then up to the present. But I'm grateful because I was able to deal with them. I'm also thankful for the people who have the courage to know me. Those who laughed and cried on my stories. Once upon a time this person was not the person as he is today. He struggled, yet he managed to survive.
One day, this person will be able to reach his dreams, and will soar high to fulfill his duty.
One day, this person will be able to go beyond his limits and will live as free as a swallow flying between the clouds.
