I am becoming a year older this month, and I don’t know if I will be glad about it or feel depressed since I feel that I haven’t accomplished anything in this world yet.
Whenever I go back to the years that passed by, I can’t think of something dramatic that has ever happened to me or something big that I did that had a big effect to someone else.
My husband and I want to be remembered as a good person when we die. I usually give little things to anybody who I think deserves (or does not deserves) my help but still I feel that it’s not enough to be a good Samaritan. I want to help more people the best I can but sometimes we can’t give anything because we have limited resources too.
With my 30 years of existence, I also haven’t done some of the things that I want. I have never rode an airplane (even just local travel). I’ve been thinking of fulfilling this wish this year and I hope we will have an extra budget so that I will not feel guilty afterwards.
When I was a teenager, I was a careless girl who just wanted to go anywhere and do everything that I want. I was selfish and didn’t care about anyone in the world. I am imagining myself that if only back then I already planned what I will do with my life, then maybe by now, I have accomplished something and be very proud about it.
But life is too short to sit down and keep on thinking what I missed earlier in life and what I should have and shouldn’t have done so now I think I will continue to enjoy the good life that I have right at the moment and strive hard to still fulfill my dreams and make it a reality. I hope when I go back to this post when I am already a decade older I can say that I have done something good in this world.

Hi Levy! Not everyone can be Oprah, but I’m sure you’ve done good deeds here and there. It may look small to you, but if that little help made someone happier and a better person , consider yourself accomplished. Having a blog that speaks positively about life is an accomplishment in itself. Keep being a good influence online!

Hi sis! Don’t worry, you can still do what you wish and now it’s best because you’ll have your husband and your kids with you! I’m sure it’s going to be more fun than doing them alone. 🙂
