Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today’s topic is from Hive-Learners which says:The Final Month. So let’s dive in.
We are now in the last month of the year, and honestly, it still feels unbelievable. I can still remember how we all shouted “Happy New Year” like it was just yesterday — the excitement, the joy, everything. But now, here we are, watching the year slowly come to an end. This year has really gone so fast.
This year came with its own ups and downs. When the year started, I wrote down all the things I wanted to achieve. Even though I didn’t achieve everything, I’m still grateful because I achieved some of them. At least I didn’t remain in the same place I was at the beginning of the year.
To be honest, this year wasn’t easy at all. It was stressful in different ways. I had days when I was happy, days when I was sad, and days when I was just tired of everything. There were moments I felt like crying, moments I felt confused, and moments I didn’t even know what to feel. This year really tested my strength, but I thank God I overcame and didn’t let it weigh me down.
Also, something painful happened to me recently. Last week Wednesday, I lost my grandmother. It has not been easy to accept. What made it even more painful was that it had been years since I last saw her. I couldn’t believe that we lost her just like that. The news of her death really shook me. But even in that pain, I still thank God for her life.
School also added its own wahala. Reading, writing, tests, assignments, deadlines — it wasn’t easy at all. Sometimes, school stress alone can make someone want to scream because the stress was too much. But somehow, I still managed to push through. At least I didn’t fail myself. Surviving school in a year like this is a big achievement on its own.
When I look back now, I’m still grateful. I’m grateful for life, for growth, for the things I achieved this year, for the lessons I learned, and for the strength God gave me to go through everything. I’m also grateful for being alive. Some people that we all shouted “Happy New Year” together with are no more, but here I am — alive, breathing. All these are the grace, mercy, and blessings of God upon my life.
This year also helped me grow. I learned to control my reactions more, protect my peace, and take things one step at a time. I also learned to value myself more than before. All these small changes and achievements mean a lot to me.
Now that we are in December, the feeling is different. And Christmas makes it even more special. Christmas is around the corner. Christmas is that time when families come together to enjoy, celebrate, and create memories.
As the year ends, what I want most is peace of mind. I want to finish this year with a grateful and thankful heart. Yes, there are still things I want to do before the year ends, but I’m not stressing myself. Whatever I can do now, I will do. Whatever remains, hopefully next year I will continue.
In conclusion, this final month is a reminder that no matter how tough the year was, we still made it. We survived the stress, the challenges, and everything life threw at us. And for that, I’m so grateful and thankful to God.
