The year 2013 was very bad for my life. I was almost in depression because of whatever all happened with me.

  In those days,I met a guy in office. This guy was much younger than me,but still very soon we became good friends. On my birthday,he offered me to spend my birthday evening with him. It was the lovely evening I spent and felt so nice after long time. He made my birthday so special. Very soon,our friendship became stronger and finally we fell in love in just few days. These days it's very rare if people get love in return,it's always either girl or boy who loves more but never equal. So I found myself so lucky that I experi?enced equal love in return. It's always inner beauty that makes a person beauti?ful and he made me realize how beautiful I am and brought my confidence back. Not only he loved me so much but also helped me in many ways to solve my other problems.

  This man came in my life like an angel when I needed most. I got thou?sand reasons to curse (沮咒) 2013 but just one reason which made 2013 very special to forget all bad memories. I owe so much to him and don't know if I would ever be able to repay for what he has done for me. With this story,I would like to take this opportunity to tell him "THANK YOU SO MUCH.” Also,I want to convey one message to everyone,in life we always pass through lots of ups and downs. Sometimes our circumstance becomes even worse,which affects us badly but we should never lose hope. You will always see the sunshine even after the darkest night.
