Every year, a different story and new chapters of life unfold as we go along. Our stories vary and differ from one another as we embark on another adventure and strive to achieve our goals. We maintain a constant speed as we live our day-to-day lives. New challenges, struggles, and perseverance in life fuel our human desire to live decently as we navigate the ocean of problems and uncertainties.

 

As the saying goes, experience is the greatest teacher. Our inner feelings and fleeting emotions reveal the essence of who we are as we journey along the long and winding road of life. As we navigate both day and night, we must engage in clear thinking and adopt a broader perspective, transforming our perception of life itself. 

 

2025 is a roller coaster ride, spinning thoughts of events that turn unexpectedly in the blink of an eye. Lessons learned showed me that life is fragile and needs to be taken care of, just like our health. This year taught me lessons that showed the way and were distinctly categorized as a ladder to unprecedented occurrences. 

 

What lessons have I learned and what have they taught me in my journey?

 

  Life itself is not a life without purpose and goals – we exist, we eat, we sleep, ride, and die. As we progress, purpose and goals help us live humanely.

Old friends we met years ago do not equate to forever- We meet people as we traverse and progress in life, as we go along, not all will stay and be there for the rest of our journey.

Watering plants too much can actually kill them.- Not all are willing to accept help. Most people shun away; their psychological innuendos are not designed to receive assistance as offered, and in most cases, they think otherwise.

Value people who value you – Yes, I shy away from the traditional mentality of holding on to people even if they no longer value me as I am.

Do what makes you happy, but never lose your Character, Values, and your persona.  In today's generation, the majority of people lean towards: MONEY, ATTENTION, AND VALIDATION.

 You can outgrow someone without hating them – As we move on, we tend to forget everything. Our desire is to be better than we were in previous years and to surpass the things we have done and accomplished. Ultimately, this is what matters. 

Never fear losing someone when treatment is unbearable – Oftentimes, we hold on to beautiful things around us, sweet memories, happy thoughts, even though we are treated poorly and naively.  Our subconscious mind deceived us into thinking that staying is okay rather than losing a friend, even if the friendship is poorly established from day one.

 Holding on to love is okay, but never go back to the same place.  Once in our lives, we get stuck in a quagmire of a relationship. Maintain your self-respect and your disposition in life.

Death and Taxes are the two permanent things in human life - Reality bites, it hurts, yet it is real and unfiltered. My mom died five months ago, which was the turning point of my life. Seeing her in a hospital bed, intubated, an excruciating pain tells me that life itself has its own final door, final destination, the end of everything. Oh dear life!

 

Stay being kind, stay in love, get hurt, accept failure, embrace rejection, and continue doing what's best for you. Do not compare yourself to anyone around you. We have our own race track, not to compete but to focus on our own race to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Rejection is the chisel to perfection.

 

 A year of bitter-sweet happenings, an ice cream under the heat of the sun, fighting to stay intact but melts in the blink of an eye, cold, calculating, and calm.

 

 A year of bittersweet endings. My beautiful goodbye.
