2025 wrapped

I have never had a worse, excruciating, more bitter phase than I’ve had in the last two months. While my days were for thinking in and out of the box for ways I could keep myself in motion, the nights were for silent cries when that realization of futility hits me and also the pain that came with admitting the fact that I was stuck in a cycle I had, or have, rather, the power to change but hadn’t found the strength yet, made me resort to things I never imagined myself to do. Good thing I gathered the courage to open up to the people I felt could put me through life, and thankfully, my guts were not wrong. 

“Count your blessings and name them one after the other”, was the response I received from all three of them and then suddenly, I discovered that indeed, God was really there for me all through the year.

“2025 is my year”

l I had a crazy character development, to an extent at least 

l I got a job that also aided my development 

l I made 2 new friends I’m not ever going to regret meeting

l I got into other relationships that moulded and broke me

l I tried improving my cooking skills and of course, it did improve

l I made a stronger bond with my mum

l I made more money than I did last year

l I made certain good decisions that are paying off well for me

l I became closer to someone who has now become a very big part of me

l My blog grew 4 times bigger than it was as at last year

l In my process of healing, I found a new me and I’m glad I embraced her

l I became more creative and expressive in my articles

l I started and I’m still carving out my niche outside WhatsApp

 

And just when I thought I was getting happier, life decided to come at me. And I thought to myself, “You achieved all of this in the space of 10 months. Who knows… life could be preparing you for bigger wins in the coming year, or maybe the coming week. So sit tight, buckle up and get on the go!”

And I’d love to speak to you reading this piece… Do not see the tough times you’re experiencing at any point in your life as bad days. Rather, see them as days gearing you up for better days. The tough days are here because you are tougher. So just like I said to myself, all you have to do is to “sit up, buckle up and get on the go”. You can’t and shouldn’t stop now.
