Yearend reflections

Fiercer, bolder, decisive; traits that until now, I still wish to be me.

This year has been a big roller coaster ride; emotionally, mentally, and physically. I had my worst asthma attack that took over a month before I overcome. And while I can barely manage to move around, a challenging twist occurred. I must choose between peace and financial assistance. I opted for peace.

Peace is a mental and an emotional state that no amount of money can compensate. While money is essential to live, peace is a necessity for existence. We should not just live, we have to exist.

Though my 2025 ended with a heavy twist, I had a good run during the year. I have been to some beautiful countries weaving memories and enrinching experiences. Travelling was a childhood dream. I remember during my fifth-grade class, our teacher asked us what our dreams are. I eagerly replied “I want to be a flight steward so I can travel to many countries for free.”

Ironically, my dream has become my respite. I have been travelling to go away from the gruelling challenge of facing an ugly phase of my life. My life has always been on a balance, with a wrong shift, it will fall and shatter.

So much for the drams, now I have woken up. I should continue to exist and face the challenges head on. I must level up my travel, not as a respite but an adventure. I must work hard to attain my wish too.

Change is always tough but drowning in misery is tougher.

Capping this (emotional) narrative with warm wishes to everyone. Hope you all have a joyful yearend celebration.

A blessed New Year to all!
