4.3.2.1…
And in unison, everyone screamed, “Happy new year!!!”
See, we had made it into 2022, and at that moment, all was forgotten. Pain, sadness, frustration, anger … you name it. Left in its wake was the intense feeling of gratitude and hope as we all basked in the euphoria of a brand new year.
My usual go-to would be resolutions in the wake of the new year. But hey, New Year, New Traditions, right? Resolutions rarely work for me.
Or maybe I’ve come to understand life a little differently.
This new year for me is so significant because, for the first time in so long, I feel hopeful. Hopeful for life. Hopeful for the future. I am more intentional about my happiness and mental state, allowing them to occupy a higher level than ever before. I am more interested in doing this life-thingy with more zeal and positive energy. And very importantly, completely letting the light in.
Sometimes you could get stuck in the darkness for what seems like an eternity because you haven’t had reasons to look outside. But the light will always be there, just within reach. Just waiting so we can try to reach out and embrace it. This year, I am doing just that.
If unlike me, you decided to climb aboard the resolution train, that’s okay. Just make a conscious decision to prioritize your happiness, and that should be at the top of the list. Know that life is too uncertain to leave yours in the hands of someone else.
So, this post is to express my kind wishes for you all, my amazing readers who have been with me through it all.
To everyone who has contributed to my growth in one way or the other.
I pray that 2022 is the year that makes you believe again. I pray that you experience total healing in places with scars that run deep. I pray that life gives you reasons to smile more.
And I pray that you start living fully rather than existing while life passes you by. Amen.
Happy New Year!!!
