hello, december!

sometimes, you cannot help but find unfortunate things incredibly amusing. Like the fact that I had to have teeth pulled out and have now been reduced to one of those people who put teeth in a glass at night. (luckily, this is only temporary). but last night, as i dropped them into the glass i couldn't help giggling because I did not think this would be something that would happen to me until I was waaaaayyyy into my 70s or 80s.

but, tooth loss aside, i am grateful for what this december means. to me, it is a blessing to be able to realize that, in spite of my being 27 single and careerless, i can still find joy in my days, (see previous post), and that i have friends that are there even though i am no one at the moment. also i am hopeful that these remaining few months will be my last ones in law school. and also, because, finally, i have woken up to the fact that no matter what happens, i should just do what i want to do because life is too short not to.

i remember doing a christmas post a while back, of those things that i love about christmas. i still do love them, so i wont repeat what i said. (you can find them in the december posts for sure) but i love how december makes people feel cheerful, and happy. maybe it is the cheesy versions of christmas songs played everywhere? maybe it is the hope that christmas miracles will happen. i know there is a lot of pressure to be extra happy during december - and this can sometimes make people even sadder. i guess...sometimes we have to really really squint and look hard to find what we can be happy about. december is too long to wallow about not having things.

hopefully i can carry this mood through out the remainder of my lifetime. in the meantime, ang lamig na!!! i am loving this weather. hello december! excited to meet you again :)
