Looking back at when the year began, I found myself screaming out my lungs and hugging every member of my family because we made it to the new year, and here we are again, counting down to the end of the year. Often people from my part of the world would be like "this year ran very fast and they will go further into saying I can't believe we are in December already" I know sometimes our minds might play some tricks with us to remind us that the year just started yesterday but then when you want to start counting the yesterday you would be baffled that we are already in twelve month.
Personally the year started off amazingly just like everyone I had high hopes and plans for the new year, I had written down my new year resolutions, hung it on my wall and kept staring at it everyday that goes by and I would keep reminding myself of the things I have to do and how fast I must embark on each of them but then as time went by certain obstacles came along the way, just like they say "obstacles are unpredictable just like the world is" but then I ask myself "why?".
The year started moving like a train without pausing to check on its passengers, with me being included. One of the major highlights of this year for me would be starting my professional classes. For the past two years, I've been anticipating starting my professional classes because growing up, I've always wanted to be a chartered accountant. Told my mum every day about this dream of mine and she would be like "take things one step after the other" So this I had in mind though procrastination came like a thief in the night trying to take over my mind and be like "you still have time" Why start it now and I'm like "yo not now".
So I took that baby step that seems more like a big step and started my journey, though the journey seemed rough at some point but then just like they say "nothing good comes easy right" you have to put in the work and effort that is needed into making certain things work in your life, and I put in that effort and here I am finished writing my exams already "hallelujah" I feel super proud of myself that I was able to begin that journey and all I can say "is that I am grateful".
Another highlight before I forget, though this part usually get to me but then it is part of the world we live in, I started this year applying for different job roles, whatever job role that seems pleasing to me, I will ensure to apply but then the feedbacks I've been getting are kind of discouraging and thereby forcing me to give up then I look at myself and be like "Tarila don't give up easily" now that is who I am. I've come to the conclusion that rejection doesn't mean I am not good enough, it simply means they can't handle the good I would be bringing to their company, so it's their loss, not mine.
I feel a little excited about what the rest of the holds for me because I'm still expectant "I know right" well, I am very much expectant that I'm gonna end this year with a wide and broad smile on my face and be like "you wouldn't have gotten this if you had given up on yourself" now that is the testimony I am expecting for the remaining days of the year.
