A Year In Review: Reflecting On 2025's Biggest Moments

I'm feeling kinda emotional as I'm about to write this, it's been a year I had never imagined would be. Like my sister said, "Today is a day we've never seen before" and it's same for this year 2025 when it began, we had no idea what it looked like but days into December, we have so much to say about how the year look like for us.

For me, the year started less dramatic as I didn't have any resolutions I held too tight that I must follow. I thought to have a different approach into the year, and that is doing most things out of plans. Thankfully to the kind of people I surrounded myself with this year, I got to have so many firsts in this year 2025 that I'm grateful for.

If I would be very clear, they were not really firsts that I've never experienced before but they were firsts that I experienced differently and firsts that created greater opportunities than I have ever experienced before. It may seem regular or normal to be well and not be sick until you are actually faced with a situation of fighting for life.

The biggest moments of 2025 for me are not many, but the few count as much as many things would have for me. I finished my youth service earlier this year and I remember being in the phase of "What next" for way too long until I surrendered to just doing what makes me happy and serving my God. This eventually saved me.

In this year, I fell very sick. So sick that at a point, I thought I wouldn't survive that moment. I remember how I was rushed to the hospital only to find out there wasn't anything serious wrong with me and by grace, the real problem was discovered and it was from one treatment to another until I started to gain myself back again.

Becoming well again may not be my own achievement as God made it possible but it's the major achievement for me in this year that I can't thank God enough for saving me. There are other achievements God made possible for me too, like a training I did that opened my eyes to new opportunities that I could explore and be better.

Right now, I feel so happy about how great the year has been but I can't help but be excited for what the rest of the year has in store for me. I'm positive that greater things are about to happen because one thing I believe about God is, "He never starts His works and leave them unfinished". Right now, I'm His work in progress.

Learning more into what would create more opportunities for me is my priority for the rest of the month into the new year and I do have so many plans I can only achieve when I've done well with the opportunities God will provide for me from my learnings. There's life and hope, so I'm not worried how things would go from here.
