The moment I saw this topic, I couldn't help but reflect on the pleasant and unpleasant memories I had in 2024. This year has been filled with its ups and downs, and many will remember the hardships it brought. However, we must be grateful for the breath in our lungs. So many people gave up because they couldn't continue.
I want to share two memories from 2024 that made it unforgettable.
The Pleasant Memories
We had been pursuing something great in the past, but we let it slide without pushing further because we had no resources, help was not coming, and finances were not smiling on our side at all. So we had no choice but to drop it. However, In 2024, we decided to start all over again and picked our papers with the first step; boom, we moved to the next phase, until the next phase and a breakthrough came forth; it was successful! Do we have all that we need to run the race? No, it happened with God's supernatural favour. How it became a reality without any stress is still a mystery to us, but we are grateful to God for its success. 2024 will be a record forever.
Another joyful memory from 2024 is that the first-ever king from my hometown came directly from my immediate family. My uncle was crowned as the town's first king, bringing immense joy to our hearts, especially since I will be called a princess from now on. My dad began this pursuit before he passed away in 2005, but it didn't yield any results back then. However, it finally came to fruition in our family, as we were the ones who truly deserved it. All this happened within a month and to the end of the month December. We are thankful for 2024.
Here comes the king💕
The Unpleasant Memory
One unpleasant memory from 2024 that I will never forget is my attempt to become the chairperson of my school. I never struggled to be in that position at all, I nominated band elected, but all of a sudden, it felt like a trap, and I was unaware until it was too late. I was elected and voted in as is usually done, but I didn’t know they had another plan.
The stress of having power without being the true voice of authority was overwhelming. We are never allowed to rule by the three musketeers in my school; they must kick against whatever plan you have and make theirs the top priority. So, what's the point of the election and appointment? It was truly horrible!
I was so exhausted and wished for 2024 to be a thing of the past because I could no longer bear the weight of the title. They don't know I had already dropped the title in early December as I won't let it affect my mental health in 2025. The victimization was already getting into me before I realized it was never a do-or-die affair. I am open to positive friends in 2025, so all negativities are ending in 2024.
2024 is a year, I won't forget so quick.
