Between Smiles and Tears, 2025 Has Been a Teacher

To be honest here, this year felt like a moving train going at its highest speed. I could remember a moment ago, I was shouting and greeting people "HAPPY NEW YEAR" during the crossover service, and now, the year is almost rounding up with just three months and a few days left. And when I look back, I can see both joy and pain, filled with a rollercoaster of uplifting and downtime moments.

Personally, one of the best moments of this year so far was summoning power and courage I never imagined I had to go after a personal goal that I have always been shying away from. And to be honest, it was a victory on my path even though it was small, but I have told myself to celebrate any win, either big or small, because a win is a win, most especially in my country where everything is unpredictable, and deciding to move forward feels like I climbed one of the tallest mountains.

But amidst all the win, during the second quarter of this year, I also faced challenges that made me realize that life cannot always be rosy; there will always be some loss along the way, which has enlightened and strengthened me. At that moment, the plans I had for myself changed, but I decided not to give up by burying myself in self-pity. You know, as a man, one needs to restrategize and keep pushing forward. Loss always has this way of slowing someone down, but deciding to step forward or wallow in self-pity is a personal decision.

Earlier this year, like I usually always do, I have achieved some of the New Year's resolutions I set for myself, while others are still dribbling me, but I know that I will before the year runs to an end. And this also has made me realize that life is not about completing all the New Year's resolutions that I made early this year, but it is also about surviving, losing, and never backing down.

So, to 2025 so far, I am grateful for the good, the bad, and the ugly because I have been able to learn one or two things: that surviving is a victory on its own in this unpredictable life that I am living.

Thank you for reading.

In life there will always be ups and downs but we just have to find a way to navigate through both.

That's just it
We should keep moving forward no matter what

It's more like it's in speed, I thought it was only me that felt it, and before the year ends I pray you achieve them all, nice write-up

I'm glad you noticed that too
Thanks for the comment

I wouldn't say this year moved fast because I lived through every single bit of it. Life is a mixture of good and bad memories but I amidst the chaos, we have no choice but to appreciative of the things we were able to achieve.

I looks like you enjoyed every moment of this year

More like I was focus on every activity I engaged in throughout the year.

Yes oo. The best gift one can have is life itself , as long as we survive,it's a sign that we will achieve our aim.

That's just it
Surviving is winning
