Emotional Checkpoint

Today I was feeling particularly out of form.
It wasn't the weather's doing, perhaps it's just me not having enough rest.
When I came to school, I had a nice chat with a fellow teacher.
We talked about life, we talked about death.
We talked about diseases and we talked about suicide cases.

Whenever I touch on topics like these, some memories of my past surface out.
These memories, may it be bad or good, will still have an impact on me.
I think it's things like that that make us stronger, make us wiser.
And I think that it's okay to be sad, it's okay to feel small sometimes.

I'm glad that I still feel deeply about some particular memories.
Today, I am thankful for my life right now.
Today, I embrace my past and I embrace my emotions.
To the people who have shared a piece of my life's journey with me, just so you know, you are being thought of and I miss you all.
May your souls rest peacefully in heaven.
