Honestly, if I’m being real with myself, this year has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. There have been moments where I felt on top of things, and then there were times that just humbled me completely. I actually wasn't able to fulfil many of the goals i set for myself.
Now, when it comes to my education, I can actually say this is the year I pushed myself the most. I really tried—more than previous years—and even though it wasn’t perfect, I’m proud of the effort I put in. School hasn’t been an easy journey for me, but the fact that I kept going, even on the days when everything felt overwhelming, means a lot.
At the same time, a lot of things happened that made the year pretty tough. I had moments where I genuinely felt stressed, frustrated, and even confused about where my life was heading, especially financially wise. But then one thing I’ve learned is that life doesn’t always follow our plans, and sometimes, the difficult seasons teach us the most. Despite how challenging everything has been, I’m still grateful. I’m grateful that I’m alive, I’m healthy, and I’m still standing.
Another major part of my year has been Hive. To be honest, it has really changed my experience this year. The drop in Hive hit me harder than I expected because I depend on it to support myself, especially in school. When you’re used to something helping you survive, and suddenly the value drops, it can shake you. There were days I felt discouraged, wondering how I was going to manage or if things were going to get better. But even with all of that, I have never stopped believing in Hive. I’ve always seen it as something that has genuinely helped me in my journey.
So even though it dropped badly this year, I still believe it will rise again. I really do. I’ve always believed that things eventually turn around and that as long as you keep putting in effort, you’ll see results. This year has tested that belief, but it hasn’t broken it. If anything, it has made me more patient and more hopeful.
In all, I would say my year has been a mix of growth, lessons, struggle, and gratitude. It wasn’t perfect, but it taught me a lot. And even though it has been tough, I’m still holding on to the hope that things will eventually fall into place—and maybe even better than I imagined.
