I wonder what awaits me
If I'll take this pavement instead of the other one.
The lamp posts are brightly shining on this side
And fireflies begin to lit the darker end of it.
And I am now taking steps on this pavement with doubt,
With my feet, left and right.
I am now across this lamp post and I looked up
To notice it is brighter for me than the stars.
And I am now taking steps on this pavement with confidence,
With my feet, left and right.
And at the middle I can see someone
Walking towards me.
As our gazes meet, I notice him smiling at me.
I said "Hi!", and he said "Hello!".
And that bit of a moment makes my heart skip a beat.
And now, I am walking on this pavement with an endless smile.

Yes, the past may not be that pretty
With me crowned with all the glory.
Yes, I may have failed to pursue a lot
And prove to everyone that I am worthy enough.

I may have written the wrong words;
I may have danced the wrong moves.
But here I am standing for a new journey.
Here I am dreaming, believing I could reach the glorious ending myself.

Here is another mark of a new beginning.
My future choices may not be that wise,
My renewed strength may even falter,
But I am always open to renew myself for a new beginning.

God bless me.

Starting afresh on this year
Thoughts of positive changes lingers
I'll be better, I'll be smarter, I'll be thinner
But every waking moment is a chance to make oneself a better version
No need to wait for another New Year
Dream, Move, and witness dream realizations.

Listen within yourself for a while.
Keep yourself from the outer noise away.

Listen...
to that heart beat,
to your breath.

For a while...
please listen to yourself,
hear what you are yearning of.

And there is this inner desire,
the reason for your existence.

Keep listening to it...
your heartbeat, your breath.
And you'll find your place.

Life is a game of mazes and bumps.
You'll turn to any direction and find which way to go.
Trust your instinct and "self" map.
You'll find your way to the exit.

I told you I'll miss you
As we are starting to bid goodbyes.
You said we have not planned to meet each other at the start.
That fate just bring us together.
That's why I should worry not
Of never seeing you again.
Because if the turn of fate will allow it
We will share those smiles with no end.
