2021 had been a plethora of trials, tears, fear, anxiousness and apprehension. I had lost a loved one, my aunt who departed at a very young age. To recall, the day she died was supposed to be a very special day for us since it is the 20th wedding anniversary of my parents. Woefully, a supposed celebration turned into mourning.

All of the members of my family also had COVID-19 twice, somewhere around August and in December. I remembered the most fearful event of my life as my mother had trouble with her breathing. I remembered the cold feet that my father had as it was a sign of a weak immune system. And, also I experienced that immense fear as I also experienced difficulty with breathing and my heart aching interminably.

In the midst of the pandemic, I also dealt with anxiety that never seemed to end. As well, the overwhelming stress with personal issues, and online school. In the end, there's always a cloud in silver linings✨ , God has given us a profusion of blessings and I am absolutely grateful for Him💗💗. My brother entered the most prestigious university in our country or the University of the Philippines with his course for Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. My brother also got a stipend for his application for the DOST Scholarship which is a considerable financial help. In addition, I tremendously improved and still improving in various aspects of my life. I remained hopeful and still filled with love, compassion, and care. Above all, my family were safe, healthy and still alive which is probably the most important for me. 💖💖

In 2021, there are many things for which I am grateful, and I am thankful that I was able to experience this list of my gratitude.

When my parents tried, and continue to attempt, to make things better despite the pandemic.

I'm grateful that, despite our financial difficulties, my siblings and I were able to continue our education.

I could spend more time at home with my family and relatives and build more memories.

To those that stood by me when I was having a hard time, especially when I was on the verge of giving up.

One of the things I am glad for is the opportunity to study and find new things that I am unfamiliar with.

For going through hardship and learning from it, as well as for all the things I've received or had, despite the fact that I don't deserve most of them.

Enjoying a variety of activities, including playing instruments, sketching, watching, reading, and, of course, listening to music.

I am thankful that my loved ones and I are still alive, battling and not giving up despite our difficulties.

I am thankful that God continues to answer my prayers.

I am grateful to everyone who has contributed to my 2021 success.

Before formally opening a new chapter of my life for the year 2022, I will first give credit to the things that I am grateful for during the 12 not-so-easy months of 2021:
- Being confident to the things that I can do and the things that I might be able to do are whole different ideas that I was able to consider for the year 2021. I was able to know myself better and learned that as long as I am confident, I can be limitless in terms of discovering my skills.
- I was able to get strength and inspiration from my friends that I believe are always there for me, even on the dark periods of my life.
- I entered the last school year of my Junior High School life which was already a big achievement for me and for the hard works that I put into my activities on for the previous years of learning.
- I learned how to put dynamics on the simple steps that I did every time I am learning a specific choreography.
- I was able to discover more bands, more songs, and more albums to take a listen on to the days that I need comfort.
- I started to control my emotions in the most rightful way possible and value the aftermaths of everything before gearing up with an emotion-based decision.
- I might had experienced some diseases often for this year but I'm thankful that I managed to survive them all.
I can't really believe that 2021 will be ending soon, the year where I was able to experience and survive several hardships and anxieties. I would say that this year was the year of my growth, maturity, and development into a more determined, openminded, and dedicated man. I will always be grateful that 2021 just happened to be one of the years that I shall treasure for my entire living.

During 2021, there are a lot of things that I am grateful for and I am thankful that I get to experience it throughout the whole year.

These things are:
- Being able to bond with people that care and value me for who I am
- All the help that I have gotten from people during my times of need
- The strength that I have gotten from my peers and my family
- People who look out for me whenever I feel down
- People who put their whole-hearted trust on me and rely on my kindness
- People who gave me the reason to keep on pushing for myself and for everyone else that I care for
- People who taught me for all my short-comings and guided me on how do I make it better
- Accepting my true self and being confident for what I represent

It really is a roller coaster ride. There are times where we are at the peak of our lives and then sometimes, we stay at the lowest point. Back then, I still had an inferiority complex that restrained me from doing what I love. It still fazes me how I've truly grown this year, because not only that I learned how to handle others, but I've also learned to take care and love myself.
