The year is already rounding up. Some will say it was indeed a happy year for them, others might be neutral, and others will say it has been a tough year for them.
The year started well for me, as I was able to achieve a long-time dream of buying another system for myself. My sister colonised the last one I owned. It was a struggle to decide whether it was a good investment or a bad one, but in the end, I was glad to have made the right choice. I was also able to move to a new apartment, where the plan is to start living alone and enjoy my bachelor life before getting hitched.
The year would have ended well if my dreams of leaving the country to further study came through. For a period of three years, I have been trying to further my studies at any prestigious universities in the U.K. It was something my friend and I had planned out. My friend, who is already in the U.K. with his wife, had planned on how I would join them the following year. We were able to secure the admission, and what was left for me was to pay the deposit, and I was good to go. Unfortunately, that year, we were unable to make the deposit, making our plans fail. This has been the case the second time, and I was so hoping that the third time would be different, but it remained so. Apparently, the U.K. has become difficult to settle in recent times, and as a result, my sponsor is unable to sponsor me.
This was a dream that made me pause every other thing literally and was focused on it for this three-year period. I tried to save up for the deposit, but my savings turned into an investment that turned into a loss.
The year has also been a trying year for me because this year has the most records of me falling ill, I have fallen ill this year more than I have fallen ill in my entire life. What I have spent this year on treatment is more than what I have spent combined in my entire life. In the end, we are grateful to God that despite our illnesses, He has deemed it fit that we survive and fulfil the purpose of our creation.
