What 2025 Took.... and What It Gave Back

At the start of 2025, we all made resolutions and dreams for the year ahead, yet life reminds us that we plan, and God decides.

Being a responsible man is not easy.

I said the word responsible because an irresponsible man has no worries; he doesn't care about responsibilities and would do anything to avoid them. So shout out to all responsible men out there, either those taking care of their parents, siblings, wife, and kids or someone taking care of all! It is really not easy.

2025 is a year I can never forget; it gives me both good and bad memories. I had no peace of mind from the beginning of the year; I was down with sickness, lost a huge amount of money to trading memes, and the worst of it was when I lost my mum.

I called home the day she died and was told she was sleeping, only to call the next morning and be told she was dead. She probably died the night I called, but they thought she was sleeping because my mind was not at rest the whole night... I tried to act strong when I heard the news of my mum's death, but the strength only lasted a few minutes before I burst into tears, unstoppable hot tears flowed freely, first time I would lose a loved one to the cold hand of death, it hurt more because I would never see her again, only memories of our time together remains.

I lost the passion for many things, including blogging, which is why I could not keep up with posting daily, but glad I am getting back on track.

No one is unlucky for 365 days. Bad days come, but so do the good ones. And even with everything I went through this year, I still found moments of peace, joy, and blessings.

This year, God gave me the greatest gift, my son. Four months after I lost my mum, He replaced my pain with a child, and my heart finally found peace. I still miss my mum, and I always will. She will forever live in my heart.

I witnessed my son's birth. Some moments stay with you forever, and the moment he entered this world is one I will never forget.

Nothing much to write about my finances this year, I was barely trying to stay afloat, and my motivation to keep on with the hustle was family, who look up to me for their daily bread. If it were just me, with no one else to care for, I might have given up.

I thank God for the Gift of life, and I know he can still give me a new song to sing before the end of this year.

None of us knows what the next day holds, but I believe the greatest chapter of my life is still unwritten... and tomorrow is filled with possibilities waiting for me.
