Have we forgotten to be grateful?
There are so many blessings that God bestowed upon us, yet we feel perpetually drawn to things higher up, farther down the road, longing for ever more earthly possessions and status. Have we forgotten that the future isn't in our control; that it's only for God to know what awaits us next? It's only the present that we can mold with actions, and the past we can always be thankful for.
I think it's time to take a breather and reflect upon how far you've come - understand that a place you could only dream of some years earlier is now your reality. Regardless of where you are, your financial status, academic progress, personal life, you have come this far. Know that you could choose to cease the pain of life at any point, but you chose to bear. The fact that you kept yourself upright and animate is a big act of courage in itself.
And lastly, Так держать, комрад!
