As I look back on the year, I realize how many moments, shaped me in ways I didn’t fully understand until now. I see reasons why I left where I used to be to where I am now. I sincerely want to hold on to those experiences that taught me patience and kindness, those days where things took longer time to happen even as I kept my hope alive, yet I learned to hold on without losing myself. I want to remember the friendships that never gave up even on distance, misunderstandings, and silence, because they reminded me that real connections are stronger than temporary struggles.
There were moments of personal achievement, little wins that looked like nothing, but meant everything to me. Times when I forced myself to try new things especially in my cooking skill. I want to keep every laughter I shared with my loved ones, positive conversations that opened my mind to a better me, and those quiet days that forced me to reflect.
I also want to learn and relearn from the lessons that came from some mistakes I made. They were not pleasant, but they made me choose rightly. And above all, I want to retain the moments where I felt proud of myself, because those memories will be the fuel I need for ride the future.
How does this year compare to others in terms of distinctiveness? Please provide an explanation. |

I felt differently this year compared to other years, not because everything turned out perfect, but because the blessings and challenges faced along the line had deep meaning. It was a year I was aware of who I am, I got a clear meaning of my life and things happening around me. It was a year I decided to choose my desires and not to be chosen by anyone. I payed attention to every happenings around me.
I noticed that I became more selective with my energy. I no longer chase after things that way me down, and I learned to say no without guilt, this was my biggest challenge. This shift alone made the year amazing for me, because it led me to a maturity I didn’t know I had reached. The year also brought unexpected changes that pushed me to grow. Some days stretched me emotionally, while other days helped me rebuild in a good way.
Even the relationships in my life changed differently this year. I understood people’s intentions more clearly, valued sincerity more deeply, and let go of connections that were no longer in agreement with the person I am becoming. There was a quiet strength in this process, one that made this year unique and unforgettable.
Please share the modifications you would like to observe in the forthcoming year. |

Looking ahead, the new year feels like a fresh page of a book that is waiting to be filled with great choices, good habits, and memorable experiences. I hope to become more consistent with my goals, instead of allowing fear or procrastination to delay my progress. I want a year where I stay focused and disciplined, but still maintaining kindness to myself.
I hope to improve my emotional part by practicing more self-care, choosing peace over war, and surrounding myself with people who can help me grow. I also want to be more adventurous, try new skills, meet new people, and explore great opportunities that once felt too big for me.
Lastly, I want the coming year to bring more stability, joy, and confidence. I hope to grow into a version of myself that is not afraid of change, not afraid of love, and not afraid of taking bold steps toward a future I truly desire.
