Time flies fastest than everyone thought. Last time I checked, I was an eighteen-years-old woman who was pondering what would happen in my so-called life. In my life, I've met a lot of people, and each of them has taught me something that I'll truly never forget.
In October of 2020, one of my closest uncles bid his final farewell to us. He was like a second parent to me, someone I could talk to about my various life issues. Time after time he will inquire about myself even about my school, as well as everything else about me, and will always support me in whatever I am capable of. He once caught me looking in the mirror, and I wasn't feeling well that day due to everything I was going through. "You know what you're lovely," he said, "always choose to smile ,do the things that will help you grow better but don't forget to have time for thyself. " At that moment, I told myself that perhaps I should focus on the things that would help me grow as a person and that I would always choose myself.
Positively, as each incredible day passes, I am gaining more confidence than I ever imagined. I started to have progress within myself unlike before. I poured all my time into my studies and myself. I'm glad I gave myself enough time to develop self-love, confidence, and self-care.
Sadly, I was so preoccupied with myself growth that I neglected to notice the people around me even my dearest uncle. On the morning of his death, I saw him watching television in my grandmother's living room and just passed him because I had something else I needed to do that day. The hours were ticking away. Someone called my aunt's phone in the afternoon after my classes, and because she wasn't there and the phone was right next to me, I was the only one who responded. I overheard my cousin sobbing as she inquired about the whereabouts of my aunt. I suddenly called my aunt and handed the phone to her. A few minutes later I saw my aunt crying and dressed for a walk and even my father too. Everything was chaotic at that time and in the night we received a call that my uncle was dead. After that news, I paused for a time, trying to comprehend what was going on; I was completely oblivious to the fact that tears were already streaming down my face.
His jokes, his laughter, his advice, and his presence .I'll undoubtedly miss it, but I'll never forget everything because it holds a special place in my heart. All I can say I've learned that life is constantly surprising. If only everything we love can stay besides us forever why not, but eventually everyone bid their goodbyes 'cause each person in our life has its own season. Thus, In life we'll continuously meet new people that can be a lesson or a blessing to us. Above all, life isn't just about yourself; it's also about the people we meet that give shape in our life. There's this one quote that caught my eyes from Mandy Hale and it says, " Some people pass through our lives for a season to teach us lesson that could never be learned if they stayed. " I agreed upon reading the quote. I believe that perhaps people in our lives left us alone because we cannot learn about the world unless they are around. Hence, there is always something that will take away from you in order for you to have a better experience in life. Always remember that life is a series of hi and good-bye.
