Each one of us has a story in life to tell. Whether it is full of sadness and hardships, we shouldn't lose heart and find time to know and remind ourselves that we have treasures in life that we might have neglected all because we've been through a lot of things, bad to be precise.

I also have my share of sadness in life. There was even a phase wherein I really neglected myself all because I thought I was a disappointment and I can't do anything right in life. I was lucky that I got right back on track and God really helped me in life to take a full turn from how it was. I realized later in life that I had these treasures in life and I just didn't realize they are just there's, just within our grasps.

My important treasures in life.

In no particular order, these things helped me realize the most important things in life.

Music

As I grew up, I never got interested in music because my mind was always settled into playing games over and over again. But then there was a sudden turn in life and there were particular singers that lead me into loving music. I don't do instruments but I find music so soothing to my soul. Every time I hear my favourite songs, my day feels a lot better and they give me inspiration in life to carry on. I've been into love songs lately, I think I'm in love but I don't really know that for myself. Haha

Loved ones

Family

Honestly, I'm really not that close when it comes to my family ties. Maybe because growing up, I always end up in an arguement with my father over petty things. So much for he is a perfectionist, haha. I could say that we can get along with my mother and a sister of mine, the rest of my siblings? Hmmm not really. Maybe it's because we grow up apart from each other as I am the youngest and all of them chose to leave home for work months after they finished college. But still, I am always thankful to them for always giving out moral and financial support when I was still working hard to achieve my dreams in life. And I know for are fact na they are irreplaceable.

Friends

As I grew up as a shy kid, that barely talks to anyone new. I never even thought that I'd be a person that I've become today, someone who has friends in life and still making new friends. I really treasure my friends a lot, especially the ones who are in my circle. They are the ones who are always there for me when I was at my lowest points in life, and that was in college. I had the extremes of family problems and that they are always there for me, giving me out comfort and advice. Also, to my new friends I am thankful that I met them and had best moments in life, lately.

Education

As we came from a working class family, we are not rich and we don't have anything to inherit from my parents. My Father was a Habal-Habal Driver, now a Mechanic and my mother is only a Housewife, however they taught us everything in life necessary to succeed and emphasized the importance of Education for the betterment of our lives, and thanks God, all of us Graduated college and now fighting for our own dreams and goals. I thank my parents and siblings for helping me achieve the Education of my dreams and now, I am slowly working to be a regular government employee.

Spirituality

Everything I have, I thank God for each and everything. There were several things that I wouldn't have accomplished if I did let my Faith in God slip. I had many challenges in college and I am very much thankful that I still managed to acquire my Bachelor's Degree and passed my LET with only a 1st try. I couldn't thank God more, as I've been a survivor since I was younger, I was told by my parents that I almost died when I was a wee baby but a miracle happened and now I am still here. Ever thankful and blessed.

Closing Thoughts

Often times we think that we don't have everything. In my case, I can say that these are my everything. We may lose certain things in life, but we can always choose to work in building and maintaining our own cherished treasures in life.

That's it, hope you enjoyed a part of my life, haha. Special thanks to this blog for helping me create ideas for this work of mine.
