Life is Comedy, Behind Tragedy
As an average person, I have a long list of wishes. At first, I thought some of them would never come true. But recently, I realized something ironic yet gratitude-worthy. Out of the hundred wishes I wrote down at the end of 2023, more than 66% have actually come true in 2024.
Yeah, it’s great news. But when I look back at the moments when some of those goals were achieved, I remember the sacrifices behind them. It wasn’t a single stretch of chaos leading to a big, special moment. Instead, it was a cycle — an on-and-off battle that, at times, left me with regret.
For months, I struggled to understand why I had to go through such uncomfortable moments. But now, I see it clearly. If I hadn’t endured those rough waves, I might never have been pushed to make certain decisions. The story would have turned out differently, and my wishes might still be unchecked on my list.
The truth is, I hated how those moments felt. They broke my heart, crushed my confidence, and left me drowning in self-doubt. When I shared my journey with others, I could see the pity in their eyes — how pathetic, right? Haha.
But now that I see the bigger picture, I no longer consider those struggles a tragedy. Instead, they feel like a comedy. I can laugh while telling the story of that chapter of my life. I refuse to let myself sink into the pain. Instead, I remind myself that sunshine will come after the storm. I don’t know when, but I still want to believe in it.
