I stopped writing New Year’s resolutions years ago. It wasn’t intentional—I just realized one day that I didn’t care for them anymore🤷🏽♀️. Somewhere along the way, the excitement of starting over in January faded for me. Maybe it’s because I’ve never really been someone who loves the idea of the “new year.” For me, it’s hard to celebrate beginnings when I don’t know how the story ends😶.
Yes I know I should exercise my faith 😶…l
Faith, they say, is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. And yet, I’ve always craved a glimpse beyond the veil…a whisper of assurance that everything will unfold as it should🙃.
Life, however, has a way of keeping its cards close to its chest, forcing you to play along, even when you’re not sure of the rules.
This year, I’ve been thinking a lot about growth… how it sneaks up on you in the quiet moments. It’s not always about setting big goals or chasing milestones. Sometimes, it’s as small as realizing you survived something you thought would break you. Or noticing how you’ve softened in ways that once felt impossible💜. That’s growth too .
The truth is, we’re all evolving, even when it feels like we’re standing still. And as this year ends, I’m holding onto the things that remain steady when life feels overwhelming❤️.
When you think you have nothing left,look up , you still have the moon, soft and steady, even on the darkest nights. You have the ocean, powerful,endless, vast and unyielding, a reminder that some things are meant to be felt, not understood. You have sunsets, painting the sky with colors that words will never capture. You have your favorite songs, the songs that carry you when your feet can’t. You have poetry, stitching together the pieces of your soul with words you didn’t know you needed.
You have new starts, not just at midnight on December 31st but in every quiet moment you choose to keep going.
And most of all, you have yourself🥺 the one constant in a world that never stops changing. You’re the person who made it through every hard day, every long night, and every moment when giving up felt easier.
As the year comes to a close, I’m not making resolutions. Instead, I’m choosing to trust the process of becoming. I don’t need to reach a peak. I’m here to grow, to learn, to keep evolving💜
And as for Faith cheers to you . I’ll hold you not in the certainty of the destination, but in the strength to keep moving forward.
If you’re reading this, I hope you know that you’re still here for a reason. Keep going. The best part of your story might still be unwritten. See you in 2025.
I love you
