Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 114: A Day in my Life

Hi Steemit Family!

How my 2025 has been so far?

My 2025 has been one kind roller coaster honestly. Some months came with a lot of excitement and fresh energy, like I was ready to do plenty things and change my whole life at once. Then other times, the year just slow down and I start feeling lost like I don’t even know what direction to follow again. I had days where everything went well, and I also had days that just tire me for no reason. But looking back small, I feel like the year is shaping me somehow, teaching me to calm down, take things one step at a time, and not expect life to be perfect because e no dey ever perfect. So 2025 so far has been kind of messy but still meaningful.

Was the year worth it?

Honestly, yes the year still worth it. Even though some things didn’t go the way I planned them, I still feel like I gained something from the whole experience. The year gave me new friends, new ideas, some small wins here and there, and even when things didn’t happen the way I wanted, I still learn from the mistakes. Sometimes the value of a year isn’t about how smooth it went, but about how much it grew you. And this year really grew me in ways I no even expect.

My most remarkable day in 2025?

One day I can never forget happen around March. I woke up with my mind just heavy. Everything was stressing me that period, I was thinking too much about things I couldn’t change. That morning I even thought the whole day would just be one long disaster. But somewhere around afternoon, I got a message I had been waiting for since. I remember my heart started beating fast because I didn’t know if the message was good or bad. When I opened it and saw that the thing finally worked out, I legit sat down for like two minutes just to breathe. It felt like all the stress I was carrying since just melt away. The day started bad but ended in the most unexpected good way, and it really stayed with me because it remind me that life can switch up anytime.

Lessons I learned from that day?

The biggest lesson I learned from that day is that you can’t judge a whole day by how the morning feels. Sometimes we give up too early or we decide the whole day is already ruined before anything even happen. That day taught me patience. It taught me that even when everything looks somehow, good news can still show up at the last minute. I also learned that worrying too much just drains energy for nothing. Things will happen how they want to happen, and the best thing is to just keep going and leave small room for hope.

Something I would change about that day?

If I could change anything, I would honestly change how much I stressed myself that morning. I was thinking too much and expecting the worst, and it made me feel tired and frustrated. If I had known how the day would end, I would have just chilled more. But at the same time, I feel like the worry was part of the experience. Maybe if I didn’t feel that stress, the good news wouldn’t have hit me with that much relief. So in a way, everything happened the way it suppose to happen. Even though I want to change it, I’m also fine with how the day turned out.
