I don't know what's with 2015 that brings me so unfortunate. In my past articles, I mention about moving to my mom's house, losing my job, giving up my apartment, etc. I felt really gloomy at that time especially when giving up my dog to my in-laws. I remembered I cried so hard talking to my dog before leaving her. I recalled crying every night because I have to give up a lot of things. It's been 2 months that I am staying here with my mom. I don't feel comfortable especially when my mom would tell my kids that the house is not ours so we shouldn't feel too comfy. Every time I hear this, I wish that this year would be over. That I will be in my new house where in I can control myself and feel at home. Because of these, as much as I want to be optimistic in life, that there's a path of gold at the end of the rainbow, I feel even more sad. One friend named Jenny, lost her mom early this year and followed by her father-in-law this month. My former neighbor-friend lost her baby boy who was just born a day or two after she gave birth to it. On the other hand, my other friend have been depending on relatives because the husband lost his job for a year now. I realized one thing, I shouldn't pity myself. Because that was I felt two months ago. Sometimes, I do feel it until now. I want to tell myself that I am not the only one who is suffering but there are others who have worst nightmares that me. I want to believe that this will pass. I hope.

Greetings, Mayla. Life is made of suffering and joy. Bad things and good things happen to us every time, but on different intensity. However, "bad" and "good" are concepts created by us. The fact that a bad thing happened to you doesn't mean you have to take it as granted and just suffer. You can take that as an opportunity to grow further, to understand where you failed and how can you overcome it. I'm sorry. Your situation seems to be quite hard. If it relieves you, yes, there are people undergoing worse situation. But get your head up and strive for your success. Show your children and your mother the great woman you truly are: impress them and your own self by getting where they didn't think you could. I'm here cheering for your best! You will achieve it! Respectfully.
