Life bittersweet like coffee and dark chocolate.
~
Never have I in my years in the School of Hard Knocks encountered the challenges such as that this year presented. Even though I've given considerable reflections upon the events that transpired, I'm still undecided as to whether this year was good or bad. I don't remember falling sick as many times as I have this year compared to others, not to mention the second time I was so close to losing my sanity and my determination to live. Despite having making it just above the surface, I've never cared so much about completing my studies as I have this year; so much so that my dwelling on it became an obsession that had counter-effects. I realized how disillusioned I could have possibly become because of the attitudes and beliefs I had against academics, as it resulted in extremities in my efforts to complete my studies. Besides, managing the changes and challenges relationships presented made me realize the values I have come to embrace for the future that I'm about to have.
As for the future, I'm about to have the longest, most significant romantic relationship I have ever had in all my life. I'm also about to move into the lifelong boredom and mundaneness of work, which I am interestingly quite excited about. Sweet and salty as all these may be, reality always struck me as a sharp reminder of everything that could possibly go wrong or otherwise. More importantly, however, I'm beginning to realize the kind of man that I have been and am becoming.

God, without you, my life would have been lost. You guided my conscience and kept my being intact. Forgive my unbelief and waywardness. My love, without you, life wouldn't be as colorful as it is now. You have taught me courage and reminded me time and again the value of patience and perseverance. Thank you for being there when I needed you most, and also for putting up with me when I was most annoying. Loving you gets sweeter every time; with you, I can be a kid all over again. Jon Koo, meeting and knowing you has been encouraging and pleasant. I'm proud to have someone like you to look up to. Thanks for sending me back so many times and for the hours spent on discussions. Grace Yoshiko, without you, I would never have learned the meaning of friendship and simplicity. You're still very much loved and missed. Alan, thanks for the great time you've given me during our dinners and gaming sessions. I still wanna beat your ass in the game, though. Cellies, thanks for giving me the only and most exciting cell life I've ever had. I know I'm not the easiest person on earth to know, but you have all welcomed me with open hearts. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve and know all of you. New Brothers, thanks for John Mayer.
