AN EXPECTED END

To those that know, a holiday is something everyone look forward to, because, it is usually this period that a lot of things happen both positive and negative but for me, I look forward to it mostly for the positive aspects of it. This could be because holidays generally are periods when making money feels more overwhelming because you can hardly say there is no opportunity to make money. This can be due to different factors.

With the way this year has been so far, I can’t help but be hopeful about my life generally, of which this coming holiday is part of it. Since this year started, I can’t say I have been able to truly do the things that I want without feeling guilty about one thing or another. Honestly, I never knew that I’ll ever have another season of my life when my time is almost not my own. But with this coming holiday, I’m positive that things will change a lot or at least a little.

I have so much plans for this holiday and one of the most important things I’m looking forward to for this holiday is truly resting and mapping out my new chapter. Becoming a graduate truly has a way of helping me see just how much life can be demanding but thanks to this holiday, I’m hoping to rest as much as I can even while I prepare myself for whatever next is coming.

Will I be able to enjoy this holiday fully? Oh yes! I know there might be a lot of Joy and peace stealers but hey, I’m going to enjoy this holiday fully. Why? Because I know that I might not get this opportunity as often as I’d want to. Life is indeed short and these days, I’m learning to truly enjoy every moment I get to spend on this earth and just love people and everything around me. I believe that as long as I can love, forgive and give people and myself second chances, I trust that I can always restore my holiday to the enjoyment mode.

Most times things only feel tiring or boring when we try to hold on to things that we shouldn’t and that’s why I’m going to try as much as I can not to do that and just stay grateful and hopeful. I mean, for the fact that I have another opportunity to see a new day that no one has ever seen before, that’s a lot of goodness for me to enjoy such a day. And if there are challenges, I’ll also be grateful because so far, all the challenges that I have faced has only ended with thanksgiving so, it is a privilege to have more challenges because as long as I’m not giving up, it will end up becoming one of those many blessings I have earnestly prayed for.

We still have about two months until this year ends and I totally believe that so much could change even in a second not to mention two months. If God wills, this holiday will be one of my best yet. My plans are quite simple but daring and I can’t wait to see how everything turns out to be. Right now, I still have the opportunity to keep preparing for the holiday that I want and I’ll do that like my life depends on it even as I pray like nothing will change no matter what I do.

I plan to do some journaling this holiday too and I hope to also enjoy doing that while saving my memories in a written form so I can always go back to reflect on it. I don’t know if this plan will work out but I really want to give it a try.

I doubt if any situation can prevent me from achieving the other plans I have for this holiday but if it does, I’m just going to remain hopeful because I know God will give me an expected end. I might become doubtful when some of these situations come but I hope it won’t stop me from wanting to enjoy my holiday regardless.

Thank you for reading through! 💜
