Wintermas Compilation!

Happy New Year everyone!

For both the good and bad, Cheers! by @jeclyn60

I'm grateful for the good and bad, it makes me stronger. Few days back I was down with health issues. I was blank for a few days, just me and my thoughts.

New Beginning, New Hope by @charinakim

I often compare my life with other people. They are more than me. Their lives are better, more prosperous, and everything feels easier.

THE START OF A BEGINNING - HELLO, 2024! by @supernova004

Sitting at the balcony of my apartment overlooking the road, watching people scream in excitement and shooting fireworks, I unconsciously delve into that feeling of reflection that is usually assumed in this season. I smile thinking of how far I have come. How much I have grown in such short time. I believe very much, now, that it takes just a few seconds fir one's life to change totally...
