Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
eto sakto:

"Huwag kang matakot na matulog mag-isa Kasama mo naman ako Huwag kang matakot na umibig at lumuha Kasama mo naman ako Huwag kang matakot Huwag kang matakot Dahil ang buhay mo’y walang katapusan Makapangyarihan ang pag-ibig Na hawak mo sa iyong kamay Ikaw ang Diyos at hari ng iyong mundo Matakot sila sa ‘yo"
