remembrance.

so this is Christmas
and what have you done

~ Happy Christmas (War Is Over) | John Lennon



this year, has been a/an (filled with an adjective I cannot find) one. 

so much has happened, yet so little.

I have learnt, that maybe faith is not so much a firm belief, but more so a continuous hoping.
I have seen, once again, that people are beautiful creatures.
I have awed, at how beautiful storms, and by this I refer to all kinds, can be. 
I have dabbled, in the ways of what it means to love. 
I have tasted, the bittersweet joys and pains of nostalgia.
I have felt, once again, the enigmatic folds and curls and lulls and rushes of time perceived.
I have realised, that simple joys like family and loved ones will always be more than you think is enough.

I have remembered that above all, life is beautiful.
