My Year in Review: 2024 Reflections & Lessons Learned.

I have really taken a beating this year, but what year doesn’t come with storms and rain? I don’t really know what I am hoping for in 2025 but I do know what I would like to happen and I am all for making it come alive. The beating I got this year, mentally, emotionally all happened for the sake of growth and I am thankful for it.

2024 has taught me to be thankful for everything because nothing lasts forever. It has also taught me what the art of letting go and healing looks like. It also taught me that difficulties only last a moment, just like I said above, nothing lasts forever. It is the last day of the year and all seems to be just fine.

2025 I am hoping I will take what I have learned from 2024 into your world. I learned to set boundaries. I learned how to apologise even if I am not wrong. I learned to say no even if it hurts those I love. I learned that laughter and tears are part of life and I also learned that I can do whatever I set my mind to. So, with this heart brimming with positivity and a hope that can not be quenched, I look forward to 2025.

I used to be all for setting goals and all, but I have learned that setting goals without the discipline to do them is a waste of time. All it does is put you under so much pressure. I am not saying I don’t have a plan for my 2025, but whatever goals I set, I made sure they were realistic and I could make them come true. I also learned something this year. No amount of prayer, wishing, daydreaming will work if you don’t take action.

So, I have gone from wishing and praying to doing. 2025 is coming with challenges I can see and some I can’t see. I wonder how I will be tested this year. What will be my response to emotional distress? How will I take creative insults? Will I laugh or will I retaliate? What happens when a friend is in trouble, will I stick my neck out again? Will I get more decisive about things in the home and my relationships? Will I get better at expressing myself? All this I can’t wait to find out. But you know what they say, practice makes perfect.

I am not expecting to grasp everything at once, but I do hope to learn more as I go. 2024 has no doubt been an awesome year! Looking back now, I think I am grateful for all that happened. Hmm, can I wish to build more relationships in 2025? Ones that I can actually keep…hehe.

Okay. Getting emotional now. I am listening to a song while writing this anyway. My writing gains wings with music in my ears. Have an awesome day ahead.

You have learned a lot of things this year and it makes you much better than your previous one. In my case, I didn't learn so many things this year but I am quite confident that right now I am in a better position compared to the last year and that's the satisfaction.

That is all that matters. Your conviction. Once that is existing, even if you don't see the immediate results, you have the faith to keep going
