It takes endless pages to write everything I’ve passed. I’m 19 years old now and I grateful for every single day of my life. Every day I write a diary to keep in touch with life, even only in my head. Not so long ago, I wrote:

Dear God, today I’m awake, alive, right here, right now---today. Today I’ll treat my body respectfully. Clean it, protect it. A warm water to bath, healthy food, fasten my belt, wearing a fit shoes… all of this is a small things to do to respect for my body that He gave me---a body He gave a life since I was born, until today.

Today I’m awake, not alone, but even though I’m a unique person (I think because of my height), as a human being, every person is unique. Let me respect human body and treat it like I treat my hand, my face, and my legs. When I treat my body, let me also treat my ‘bigger’ body. As I pour milk to my cereal bowl for breakfast, let me also pour a bowl of greatness for my family, neighbors and my classmate.

Today, God, without hesitation, I felt uncomfortable. Let me, with my willing, my skill, and my ‘knowledge’, not to underestimate a great wisdom from others. Let me change the parasite in my mind with bitterness or desperation into a shining diamond in my world, a diamond that can be proof to others that life and hope can defeat fear and uncertainty.

Today, dear God, let me remind myself to always smile, laugh, singing, dancing, even though my knees are hurt. Remind me to see the doves flying, watch the sunshine, enjoy the rain, listen to dog barking and licking to his food plate. Let me see the rose in the garden, let me entertained by the funny paint on the truck, let me feel grateful for everything.

Cause I live for today, let me enjoy it.
