Rain or shine, peach blossoms still bloom when spring comes.

(Dan Tri) - At the end of the year, people are more hurried but also more gentle. Whether sad or happy, the year is almost over. All the sadness, loss, bitterness, failures and hardships should be packed up and sent to the past.

One day at the end of the year, my best friend called to ask when the Tet holiday was, and then set a date to meet again. She happily told me that this year she bought a house, had a daughter, and passed her driving test.

Then you asked me: "Tell me, what have you gained this past year?" Your question left me stunned for a few seconds. A year has passed, what have I gained?

Last year, my husband decided to start his own business at the age of 40 after many years of working for others. Every start was full of difficulties, struggles, and worries that drained both his spirit and his finances. Fortunately, everything gradually stabilized, although it did not develop as expected.

Last year, my whole family still had to rent a house, and we still didn’t have enough money to build the house we were looking for. Every month when I received my salary, I still had to divide all the expenses such as rent, electricity and water, children’s school fees, savings…

A year has passed, looking back, there really isn't anything new. Work is still the same, love is still the same. If anything, it's just that I'm a year older.

Old enough to calmly listen to what your heart wants. Old enough to no longer blush when arguing about opposing opinions, old enough to smile lightly when hearing a criticism, old enough to no longer get angry when someone slanders you.

A year filled with joy, sadness, anxiety, and worry. But after all, everywhere I look, I see love. Love from my parents, my siblings, my family, my friends, and even strangers.

A random sad status on social networks also received a lot of inquiries and shares. Just that made me realize that we do not accidentally pass each other, even though each of us has many worries and busyness.

A few days ago, a friend posted a sad status on his personal page: "I wish that one morning when I wake up, I suddenly return to the days when I was a child, when my father was still young and my mother's hair was still green. The happy reunions are now just memories." His father had just passed away not long ago, making the winter even colder.

I imagine this spring, when families gather to welcome the new year, how much you will miss your father. Being an orphan at any age is precarious, painful, and makes the world seem to lose its color.

Witnessing the loss of others to see that the most frightening thing in this world is not the lack of money, not the deception, not the betrayal, but the loss of the people you love. The loss that the years have passed, everything can ease but can never be filled to the full as before.

Everyone has their own path, their own choice in life. I, like everyone else, have my own joys and sorrows. There are times when my mood is as light as floating clouds. There are also days when worries and fears come rushing in, making my heart as heavy as a stone.

After crying enough, I had to console myself. Everyone has happy times and sad times. It's just that we've paid too much attention to sadness and forgotten the happy, cheerful times.

And I realized, the difficulties in life make me a little stronger. The stumbles in life make me careful in every step, even though sometimes I am hesitant.

Everything that happens in life is not simple, but it is not a knot that cannot be untied. We just need to calmly live, love, and steadfastly go through the stormy days.

Sometimes, we still "wish time could go back" so we could correct our mistakes, so we wouldn't hurt the people we love and be generous with the mistakes of others. Wishing to know that there are things in life that can only be wished for forever, to be more careful even in love and hate in life.

Days pass by, months and years flow by. One year becomes another, winter passes and spring comes. The cycle repeats itself, and at the end of each year there are always feelings of anxiety and excitement.

The joy is hard to describe when listening to a spring song, when watching an advertisement with a family reunion scene, when hearing someone asking each other when they will go home for Tet...

At the end of the year, people are more hurried and gentle. Whether sad or happy, the year is almost over. The anger, sadness, bitter losses, and hard failures should be left behind and brought back to the past.

I wish we all had a keyboard in our heads. Things we want to forget, things we don't want to remember, we can just press the "Delete" key and erase everything, leaving no trace. How great would that be?

But anyway, the new year is coming, looking back on the past days is to rekindle hope and faith in tomorrow. No matter the weather is sunny or rainy, warm or cold, spring comes, peach blossoms still bloom. There is no use reminiscing about the past days and regretting the things that could not be done again.

New Year, I don't wish for anything grand, just pray for "peace" for myself, for my loved ones and for everyone. New day, new year, no reason to keep worrying about the past.

Come on, let's get ready to welcome the new year.
