It hasn’t been good for the last few weeks…a student of my college committed suicide, midterms were postponed after we had studied for them, the Dean almost stepped down, and now all the country’s ministers have resigned because our prime minister broke several of his promises. Worst of all, one of my best friends’ mother just passed away.
I remember I posted here once, a lifetime ago, that I had this feeling that things wouldn’t get better, that they will just get worse. And they sure did, whether it’s the state of the country or the state of people’s lives.
Still, there is always hope. That’s all we can count on now, isn’t it? And the greatest hope and happiness we can count on is birth. On Sunday, my cousin had another adorable little baby girl. In between all the grief that’s been happening, there’s finally a lovely little bundle of joy to help us along in life.

I still use the wallet Sahar gifted me through her mom. It makes me sad and angry all at the same time. But yes, hope is all we have considering that everything else is zero consolation.
