This October, I think I’m seeing red. Nope, I’m not angry. I mean, RED in its positive denotations such as good luck, joy, courage, love, celebration, and prosperity.
Despite the tragic events that happened recently around us courtesy of Typhoon Ondoy, I see some good things coming out of them like kindness, unity, generosity, and selflessness. In the same manner in my personal circumstance, I see beginnings in endings. I see hellos in goodbyes. I see a new life in death.
Days from now, I am getting a year older. And I am hoping to get my wish this time of celebrating my red-letter day without any tinge of war, tragedy, or anger. After all, who says that I can’t celebrate Christmas or Valentine’s Day in October?
