Welcome to December
It’s almost hard to believe, but yes, we’re finally here. December has arrived. The last page of the calendar, the month that once felt so far away when the year began, is now right in front of us.
This month carries a mix of emotions, relief, reflection, gratitude, and sometimes, silent exhaustion. For many, it’s a time to look back on how far we’ve come, what we’ve been through, and the lessons we’ve gathered along the way.
Whether this year felt like a gentle breeze or a wild storm, the fact that you made it here is something worth honoring.
Welcome to December, a time to breathe, to reflect, and to finish strong.
It truly feels surreal. When this year began, December looked like a dot in the far distance, something I’d think about later. I remember saying, There’s time, but time moved faster than I imagined. Now here we are, standing in the final chapter.
This year wasn’t smooth for real, In fact, I’d call it a rollercoaster. There were days I felt on top of the world, motivated, hopeful, filled with dreams I was ready to chase. And then came the unexpected moments, the hard ones, days when I woke up tired without even doing much, moments when things I planned so carefully just didn’t work out, and times I had to smile on the outside while battling silently within.
There were financial challenges, Emotional rollercoasters, silent battles I didn’t even know how to explain, I lost people, not always to death, but to distance, misunderstandings, and life changes. I questioned myself, doubted my path, and at one point, felt like I was just existing, not living.
But in all of that, something remained "Grace"
Somehow, I kept moving, I found strength in unexpected places, in prayers whispered late at night, in music, in quiet walks, and sometimes, in just surviving another day. I learned to celebrate little wins, waking up, staying consistent, eating, showing up for people, even when I didn’t feel like it.
There were also beautiful moments, laughter, love, progress and growth. I met people who poured light into my life. I achieved goals I had given up on. I saw parts of myself I didn’t know existed. And I realized how much healing can happen when you stop rushing and just let life unfold.
This year taught me not to compare my journey with others, our paths and timing are never the same. I’ve learned that peace is far more valuable than trying to keep up with the noise around me. It’s okay to pause, to rest, to ask for help when it gets heavy. And above all, I’ve seen how God holds everything together, even when it feels like I’m falling apart.
So, yes,,, This year came with its weight, but it also came with hidden blessings. I may not have achieved everything I wanted, but I gained perspective, strength, and a deeper connection with myself.
And for that,,,, I’m grateful.
Here’s to making it this far, here’s to the silent warriors who fought battles no one saw, here’s to us… still standing, Still hoping, Still becoming.
Cheers to beautiful ending 🤗😊
