As 2026 begins, I find myself thinking deeply about my goals in life. Goals that may don't sound impressive like the others. They are simple goals, but they are important to me and to my family.
One of my main goals for 2026 is to work harder so I will not be a burden to anyone. I want to be more productive in everything I do, whether it is at home or in small opportunities that come my way. I know I still have many limits, but I believe small efforts done every day can slowly change my situation. I don’t want to depend too much on others. I want to stand on my own feet, even if it takes time. I also want to be a better mother to my children. Being a mother is not only about providing food or things, but also about being present. I want to listen to them more, guide them gently, and make sure they feel loved and supported. I don't want them to feel like the way I feel before, unwanted and lack of attention.
Life is not easy, and I know my children will face their own struggles someday. I want to be the kind of mother they can always come to. As a wife, I want to improve myself too. There are days filled with misunderstandings and painful words. Sometimes I am told things that hurt deeply, even being called “palamunin.” Those words stay in my heart longer than I want them to. But in 2026, I want to learn how to endure with patience and strength. It will never be easy but I will try to respond with patience, not anger, and choose peace whenever I can.
My goal for 2026 is not perfection. It is progress. To grow slowly, to heal quietly, and to keep moving forward even when it hurts. I know I will still fail sometimes, but I will not give up on myself. I want 2026 to be the year I become stronger, wiser, and more hopeful—for myself and for my family.
