4:33 PM

I remember what the OBS head said to us when we left:

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final goodbye."

I think I'm very lucky.

I'm lucky for the all the wonderful memories my parents gave and still give me because even when they hail at me with all their tempestuous unreasonable might, I know that it is only temporary, and they still love me.

I'm lucky for their scolding when I see rude children out in the streets. I wish I could wallop them with any stray branch.

I'm lucky for the deep friendships I had formed in the past, because when I look back and realized how shallow they're become, I'm still glad that even though they're not lasting, I could still laugh at the times at the stupid things we did.

I'm lucky for the people who made my life hell. The people who showed me that life is a rose bush with thorns. I'm lucky because they made me realize how little they mattered, and everything else became much larger.

I'm lucky for the broken times I felt because I always got over them, eventually. And will continue doing so even when it forever felt otherwise.

I'm lucky for the loves I've found and lost, because they're just part of the journey that I'm sure I'm still on.

I'm lucky for my friends who stuck on being Jiasheng's friend, ignoring all that came with the friendship. I'm lucky for such special individuals who touch my life more often and closer than all others.

I'm lucky for the tears I've shed because I'm not afraid to. And the smiles when I'm not even certain what I'm smiling at.

I'm lucky for enough pessimism to make me practical, and enough optimism to make me look forward to tomorrow.

I'm lucky for having enough to hold on. I'm lucky for not having enough to make me work for what I want.

I'm lucky for being able to listen to people when they need me. And keeping reluctantly away when they don't.

I'm lucky when people recognize what I truly am, and for the lessons learned when others misjudge me.

I'm lucky because I don't have to listen to what is spoken when I'm asleep. And being able to ignore it all because they're really not worth losing sleep over.

I'm lucky because it's my life. And I really can't imagine living somebody's else.
