Dear life,
I love you for all the things you are, despite all the things you are. I love you despite you getting from me my loved ones, I love you despite putting me in situations I didn’t think I could endure, despite introducing me to dark corners of peoples' personalities, I love you despite all the hardship you have put me through, despite all the misery and sadness in the world that you face me with everyday. I love you for the strenght you offered me through all this, for opening my eyes to aspects of you i was incapable of seeing before, for introducing to me qualities in me I was so far unaware of, for giving me the ability to see the good in people, I love you for helping me find joy in all the little things, for helping me find new meanings to you, and for all the lessons you saw me worthy of learning, even the hard way. I love you for who you are and what you do, for whatever you offer me, cause I have come to understand that you have a reason for each and every one of them, a reason that sometimes is yet to unfold. Thank you for your love and friendship.

i want to share with you what i wrote after watching Pope's funeral on tv. I am sure you agree with me for the most part, don't you?
"Pope John Paul II's death brought not only the catholic christians, but the whole world together, at least for a short time.
Not as a Pope, but actually as a human being who tried within his powers to help humanity and change the world that is going mad even a little bit, John Pope II is being remembered with love all around the globe.
Kings, queens, and world leaders, enemies who do their best to destroy each other, gathered in Vatican, sitting next to each other to bid farewell to a man whom they all respected.
People in different countries gathered to watch as the church chorus sang and the religious men said blessings; they gathered to say their prayers in their own languages, in their own ways.
It is amazing to see how people have filled the churches and gathered in the streets, taking each other's hands and embracing, as the event has brought them to tears. tears that have united us all spiritually.
These tears are not just for losing Pope, but a sign of the humanity that still resides in us, a sign of the need for a more sinificant part for spirituality in our lives, a sign that we can change the world to a better place if only we pay more attention to the human part of us that keeps us holding together in times of despair and hardship.
Let us join together in saying a prayer for John Pope II, for our own loved lost ones, and for ourselves. let us pray that we be given the knowledge and power to work more on a part we tend to forget in our hectic modern lives. let us pray for a more peaceful world."
