Too Early for a Yearend Blog Entry

It’s early for a yearend blog, I know. But here I am, at 10:18 PM, trying to work on tasks while my brain insists on pausing. It’s like my mind’s way of telling me to stop and reflect. And at this moment, I realize: 2024 is about to close its chapter.

Yearend Review

Looking back, it’s as if I’m floating above the surface, seeing everything that unfolded this year from a bird’s-eye view. 2024 wasn’t marked by big, dramatic waves but rather a calm yet profound tide of self-exploration. It was a year of looking inward and rediscovering who I am.

One major turning point was becoming single after seven years. This shift allowed me to take the time I needed for myself, to reconnect with who I am beyond the relationships that shaped me. In doing so, I realized how much of myself I had lost over the past few years through bad decisions and failed ventures, particularly in the fashion world. Those setbacks weighed me down, but 2024 brought a much-needed silence—a pause that helped me regain my focus.

Navigating the Waters of the Past Year

Like diving into an open ocean, there’s no fixed path to self-discovery. The water is vast, and you can choose to swim left, right, up, or down. This year, I let the current guide me, and wherever it led, I found pieces of myself. Did I find the whole picture? Maybe. Almost. But not quite. Still, it’s a promising start, one that I believe will propel me forward in 2025 and beyond.

Mistakes? Yes, I made them. Regrets? None. Each misstep taught me more about my weaknesses and how to work around them. 2024 was far from easy. I faced challenging circumstances (some of which still linger), yet I didn’t let them pull me under. Instead, I learned to tread the waters, adapt, and keep moving.

Through it all, this year reminded me who my people are—the ones who stand by me even when the tides are rough. For that, I’m incredibly grateful.

Preparing for a New Horizon

The biggest milestone of 2024? Finding myself, piece by piece, whether in the depths of the water or along the shores. I’ve come to understand more about who I am and who I want to be. And with these lessons, I’m ready to navigate 2025 with greater wisdom and a stronger sense of control over my life.

As I prepare to leave the ocean of 2024, I look ahead with hope. The waters of a new year await, and I’m ready to dive in, knowing that every wave—calm or wild—is another opportunity to grow.

Here’s to 2025: a new tide, a new adventure, and more discoveries to come.
