Christmas!

A change within myself, a change in the family, a change of time and a change of Christmas celebration.

Change is a one syllable word that seems to be inevitable to every person. It can be either good or bad and because of all those changes, there's another chance to reflect upon it and so another lessons learned.

Today is  December 26 and I feel different. I look upon the Christmas tree wondering how other people celebrated their Christmas. I thought about something to reflect and seconds after  I said to myself "something's changed". I missed my older brothers' company and since he left to Japan everything's changed but what bothers me most are our brothers and sisters in Mindanao. I pity and feel sorry for what happened and I can't just imagine how terrible their Christmas was because others lost their family and mostly lost their home. Since Christmas is about giving love, my mom and I didn't hesitate to help them even just in a simple way.

This Christmas is about reflecting. Not all people are happy during Christmas and that's the reality but we need also to think about positivity. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail but still God helped us in every way He can. Don't be bothered about all those bad changes that happened this year, think about ourselves, our family, our friends and God. Are you completely emptied?

This Christmas made me realize that there is no reason to be sad at all. I still have my ever supportive family, I still have my helpful friends and most of all God who always loves me for who I am. Change is constant as we all know it. EVERYTHING changes as what other people say and I honestly believed in it, but now, I'll say no because there's only but one thing that will ever remain and never change and that is...the love of God.

I'll leave my photo uncolored and I'll let God color my Christmas with His love.
