5 Minutes Freewrite... A New Nightmare.

_{This is my entry to the 5 Minutes freewrite Writing Prompt; Don't Allow This.}

Some people's life is like a nightmare, and it's like that for fairly understandable reasons. Life sure is hard and the hardship comes in several shades and fragments.

Life is also an adventure!

Do you still remember the feeling you had at the beginning of this year? Do you recall the enthusiastic optimism you had?

I sure remember mine.

I had a surge of anticipation when I walked into this year and it took just the first two weeks of the year for the new year to turn into a Nightmare. A bunch of other things punctuated this year to give me a bittersweet experience.

At this moment, I look at how I've spent the year so far and I'm genuinely grateful for the resilience I have to keep my head straight and dabble into a bunch of new things this year.

This year is one in which I pushed myself really hard to grow in several areas of my life. It's a year that introduced me to a lot of new nightmares. Each of them came as a big test of my character, ability, and capability.

I can't say that I'm now at the place I really want to be. Instead, I know for a fact that I've grown in a lot of ways.

I'd hope next year won't present a New Nightmare.

Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop or Comma.
