Finding My Way (LOH #219)

deraaa in #hive-124452 • 2 days ago

I have thought long and hard about what I could possibly want in this year and what I want is simple: to find myself. Based on the experience I had from 2024, I know what stress and fatigue can do to the human mind. It can alter it and make it see what it is not supposed to. Looking back in hindsight, 2024 was an angry and exhausting year.

Now in 2025, I don’t have much to wish for than to enjoy the year and all it comes with. I know that beginning a year with resolutions is not my forte. Whatever lifestyle I want, I start to inculcate it and not wait for the new year. Like every other year, it is just 365 days all over again with you still you. This doesn’t guarantee you being better, but many of us look into the new year with hope. That is what most people have to fall on.

I, on the other hand, enjoyed the celebrations even as reality was already starting to kick in. What I want is to find peace within myself. I want to get to know myself, because I believe I have crossed another line that signifies a closed chapter in my life. I don’t feel this way because of the “new year”, I feel this rather in my bones that there are steps to take to mark my 24th year alive. There is an untapped potential I am yet to discover and my spirit has been restless with this newfound discovery.

What is the most important to me is discovering myself all over again, finding my strengths and weaknesses, learning what my new found interests are and accepting who I am - like I have always set out to do. This means I have to put myself in situations that require me to make decisions, to gauge my thought process and ultimately reach a conclusion on who I am now and what matters to me.

I have come to believe that the older you get, the more your priority changes, in essence, you either grow or you don’t. I want to find out who I am all over again. I want to know where my priorities lie and just what matters to me. In a nutshell, I want to find myself.

What a thoughtful and well-expressed post. I totally get where you're coming from with wanting to find yourself and roll with the changes that come with growing up. Every year isn’t just a fresh start; it’s more like a continuation of who we are, influenced by everything we’ve gone through and learned along the way.

I really appreciate how you’re being real about the tough times you’ve had this past year, but it’s awesome that you’re looking ahead to focus on self-discovery and finding peace. Crossing another line and closing a chapter really hits home, it’s like diving into a new season of life with a sense of curiosity and purpose.

I really admire how you take the time to figure out your strengths, weaknesses, and what matters to you through thoughtful choices and reflection. Sitting down with yourself and tackling those tough questions isn't a walk in the park, but trust me, the journey to knowing yourself better is totally worth it. I think growth comes from accepting our changing priorities and recognizing the potential we often miss while we're caught up in our busy lives.

Thanks for sharing this. It’s a good reminder for everyone to take a moment and really tune into our inner voice. Hope you find clarity, peace, and fulfillment on your journey of self-discovery in 2025 ❤️🙏

It's been so long since I had a comment this thoughtful. First, thank you so much for starting my day like this. I smiled so much reading your words. They mean a lot to me.

I also believe that spending time alone is not easy, let's just say I got better at it because when you're alone, you face hard uncomfortable truths that the noise and distraction of the world cover. I just got better in communicating with myself and sometimes I feel like I'm crazy but I know it's far from it. I am just desperate to find peace and grow as a person. It's one of my dreams.

Thank you so much again. I'm really grateful for your touching and very generous words

I’m so glad my words brought a smile to your day. 😊

I totally get what you mean about enjoying some alone time. It's a fact, being alone can reveal some tough but life-changing truths. The way you talk about improving your self-communication is really impactful, and it’s far from crazy. That’s really brave and shows you’re all in for your own growth.

Looking for peace and personal growth is a meaningful dream, and it’s awesome to see how committed you are to it. Your journey makes me think that being real with ourselves, even when it feels a bit awkward, is such a deep way to take care of our souls.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. Hope you have an awesome time on this journey of figuring yourself out 🙏

New year is just a number,I agree. Nothing changes until we are changed inside. I think self-discovery is a long process where we keep on finding our hidden talents amd interests as the life unfolds.

Peace of mind the greatest of all treasures. When we have it, we can unfold opportunities evn behnd the closed doors.

Thanks for sharing your insights with us.
