So I saved this on my phone when I came across it last week and decided to start on the first one first thing this morning!

It's about how the Earth was created more than 4.5 billion years ago, about how meteorites and oceans and life came into the picture. Thought it would be enriching to know about our very root of existence, and it made me wonder why didn't they teach us all these in school for science classes. I know I hated the solar system chapter because I always have trouble remember the 9 (OK I googled and there are 8) planets on earth. (See I still have trouble), but it was never interesting to me. Nonetheless, watching this helped me understand better the bigger picture.

Anyway, the description of the documentary caught my interest:
"Sometimes, there's nothing better than sitting back and marvelling at how astounding nature really is. Personally, it makes any of my issues feel insignificant. Planet Earth was produced by the BBC in 2006 and [took five years to make] LINK THIS — the quality and dedication to the production really shows as the series tracks through every type of possible habitat on earth."

It's kinda what I needed to remind myself once a while: that life is so much more than I thought, and my problems are so much less significant than I imagined.

I have come to a point when I feel that it's my fault for the way things turned out. And nothing I do now can change the past. But I still hold on to the hope that one day I can turn my life around with my own hands.

Anyway listening to Christmas ballads now with the rainy weather is so comforting.
