December Star

I admit I half-dreaded this day--the first day of the last month of the year. It heavily reminds me how this month came all too soon.

Don't get me wrong though. I was a big believer of December and Christmas and all the magical possibilities it represents. However, somewhere along the road, inevitable human experiences made me the way I am now--partly cynical and jaded.

On the one hand, there is this innermost part of me which keeps on hoping and which struggles to stay patient while trying to "make sense of it all." (Yes, I suffer quarter-life issues and existential crisis every now and again.hehe.)

They say that when you want something, saying it out loud will increase your chances of getting it, that even the universe will conspire to help you.

So here I am on the first day of December declaring I want all the cliché of this season: more hope, more joy, and most important of all more love. I wish to discover them all within me for a more meaningful season.
