Lessons From The Past Year.

The past year 2025, has honestly been one of those years that will forever stay with me and this is not because everything was very perfect or something , nah.... but because of how much it did stretched me as a person like seriously , okay so If I’m being very honest, 2025 was not a soft year at all for me, see the truth is It came with all kinds of pressure, unexpected situations, emotional triggers, and moments that could have easily pushed me to react in ways I would not be proud of, but then somehow, through all of that, I learned something very important about myself.

This past year has been eventful, yes, but one thing I can confidently say outside to anyone, is that, I learnt how to control my anger, like control myself to the point of walking away even in dire situations I know that needs me walking away.

And see trust me, this thing did not come easy, I used to be that person who reacted instantly to things, If something hurt me, annoyed me, or felt unfair, my emotions would show immediately, but you see this 2025 had other plans for me, Life kept putting me in situations where reacting angrily would only make things worse, not better, So I slowly learned to just pause, breathe, and sometimes just walk away.

This past year has made me experience that part of my self and seriously it is something I am truly very grateful for, because me I know many times that certain situations would have demanded I just burst, but still I remained calm.

And there were those moments when people expected me to react, like argue, shout, or fight back, some even pushed harder just to see if I would explode, but then , instead of me giving them that satisfaction, I just chose silence, distance, or calm conversations, and honestly speaking, that alone gave me a kind of peace I had never experienced before.

You know that walking away does not mean weakness, and 2025 taught me that clearly, It means choosing your sanity over any kind of unnecessary drama, It means understanding that not every battle deserves your energy, and you see sometimes, protecting your mental health is like the biggest win.

2025 was a year I used to learn growth in my mind, and I am happy about that.

Looking back now, I can say that I am proud of the person I became through all of it, cos I learned patience, I learned restraint, I learned that anger doesn’t solve everything and that silence can sometimes speak louder than my words any day and time, and most importantly, I learned that I have more control over myself than I ever imagined.

If there is one thing the past year taught me, it is that growth doesn’t always look loud or dramatic, sometimes it looks like walking away quietly, choosing peace, and letting things go, and honestly, that lesson alone made 2025 worth it for me.
