Well, this has not been a very great year for me. I think
last year was better but hey… at least I could say am getting tougher. Life can
be pretty much unfair sometimes so I have learnt to get by, regardless the
situation. This has been the year that I have done a couple of things on my
own. You know when things come and as much as people say they are there you are
still by yourself? This has been that year for me.
In terms of education, this has been an incredibly good year
for me. My grades have been great which gives me this satisfying feeling. Even
when everything else may seem impossible and I still get to put it aside and
concentrate with school, that is good enough for me. One thing I know is of all
things I can mess up, this is not one of them.
My love life has been pretty bumpy. This has been the year we've had the best moments together and the sulkiest ones. Most of all, this is
the year we have made the best memories together and I have grown deeper in
love which I do not know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. We clocked a year
on September 15 and as much as it is a lot of work sometimes, it sure is worth. I hope just like
wine, it will get better with time.
This has been the year I have established friendships. You
know how you can have so many friends who come with seasons? I have identified
the ones who are here to stay regardless of the weather. I made up with my best
friend and I have added two or three amazing friends in my life. I have had a
few fallouts with old friends...if they don’t add value in your life, why keep
them?
My favourite person graduated this year. After 5 years of
school, he finally finished. God has been good to him and things are just
getting better. I pray next year will be full of opportunities for him to grow.
My relationship with mum has been great this year. We have become really close
and basically talk about everything and anything. Dad has been incredibly
supportive. He took me to this dermatologist that made my face a lot better
than I can ever imagine. Of all things I can complain of, not my family. It is
the best gift that God has given me.
This is the year I have been more outgoing and adventurous.
I have attended a couple of events with friends that were filled with joy and
laughter. I have gone to places I have never been and I plan to keep this up since the experiences were extra ordinary. There was excess of retail therapy
this year. I shopped a lot, to some extent excessively, especially when I had
things going on and needed to get my mind away. I sincerely hope next year will
be calmer and better in every way.
I have been very emotional this year. I have cried a lot…in
funerals and situations I have been in. It has been a very rough year for
self-growth. It’s where I have learnt not to rely much on people or expect much
from them for less disappointment. I have learnt to survive on my own without
much dependency and the greatest things I have learnt this year is that God
never disappoints. He has had my back when no one else had and I couldn't be more grateful.
