Count down to LUNAR NEW YEAR

It's only 6 more day to lunar new year. Different from many other countries, this is the true beginning of the year in Vietnam. And also different from others, in this time of the year, some of us have the tendency to check what have we achived this year.
For me, this is the first time I do this but I think it would have a good effect on me.

Let's see...
this year...I enter a new English class. Once again driff myself of the old environment and head forward. I have kept myself going and will always do.
this year...I learn that everybody have a different way to look at the world (I always hear that but never trully understand.) and what I think best for others don't mean they think the same.
this year...I learn that I have a little autism. Not so important, just i don't want to talk to others. Don't want to learn about others. I guess that is because I always over-worry about others (when my mother picks me up late the first thing I think about is what if she got an accident) and new people mean new worry.
this year...I learn that life could never be the way I want. The most important thing is how you deal with it. Will you be upset and cry for your misery or will you let it go and open a new door? Or maybe you would sit down a bit then stand up and walk away? It's all depend on you.
this year...I watch my friend dearm broken. I can fell how she fell 'cause I have been in the same situation not long ago, but all the word I say cuold have no effect on him and more than ever I know the only person can get a broken girl up is herself (I don't know if it is the same for boy).
this year...I got a broken arm and I know that when I'm in such situation many people would look at me pitifully but the only person who can actually do something is myself. And I also learn that every problem will have a solution. It's just a solution may not look like one. And it also could be very difficult.
this year...I learn to love my class a little more. That's strange how I always think good about people but never love them. And this class where people sometime I can't think good about their actions no matter how I look at it make me love it heartfully.
this year...I finally know that I did love someone. I love my father, my mother, my sister, my brother (this I'm not sure about), my dogs. I love my teacher (most of them), my classmates, my friend and myself. And I know I will love more because love is unlimited no matter how much you give, it will never ran out.

Cry

When do people cry?
When they watch a sad movie.
When they see a sad fact.
When they got cut in their hand.
When they got cut in their heart.
When they lose someone they love.
When they hurt someone.
And when they are in utmost happiness.
When they're in love, when they're in pain.
When they scream and when they laugh.
When their emotions get out of their hand.
But when do I cry?
When I watch a sad movie.
When I see a sad fact.
When I got cut in my hand.
What about the rest? Why have I never cried for someone I lost, for someone I hurt or someone who hurt me?
Come to think about it, it is quite easy to understand. Because I have none. I haven't yet to lost someone, I haven't yet to hurt someone. I haven't yet to be hurt. But I know when that day come, I will cry. I will cry my heart out. I will cry with all my strength. Not because my life will end there but because tears are the only things I can left with them and when I eyes dry, I will come forward without looking back once. Just like I always do.

Hand

Do you know the famous story about a woman ask her child which part of the body is the most important? The answer is the shoulder for it could be the place for people we love to lean on.
However, for me, that is not enough. It's true that the shoulder could comfort others but that's all. It can't do nothing to helpthem solve their problem or properly get them over their sadness. In my point of view, it's my hands that are the most important. With my hand I can feed, clothes, take care of myself (I didn't mean that people without hands can't take care of themselves. They just have to do it another way). In short, I can prevent myself from being a burden. Futhermore, when people I love in trouble I can reach out my hand and help them stand up again. I can help them solve their problem and even if I can't, I can at the very least embrace them and give them a little peace.
Yes, I'm certain that my hand is my most precious possesion.
