Let’s Strive to be the Best Versions of Ourselves this 2022!

 

            While everyone was either eating, or watching fireworks after the first midnight of the year, I was stuck in my room contemplating on what I have achieved, what I have experienced, and what I have been through for the past year. A bit dramatic for some, but in my opinion, I see it as a way to talk to myself, and to know myself more. I see it as the first step to figure out what I would like to achieve, and to experience for this new year.

            2021 has been a tough year, indeed. I have made numerous mistakes that I have truly regretted. Me and my family have been through one of the worst challenged we have come across in our lives. I struggled mentally and physically. However, despite the hardship I have experienced for the past year, I am thankful and proud that I survived all of it. It taught me valuable lessons that would be extremely beneficial for my future, for instance, preventing myself from repeating the same mistakes, and to be more careful. Furthermore, this past year made me love myself more. I started caring for my health, both mentally and physically. I also started doing the hobbies I neglected before. More importantly, I survived. And that alone, as little and simple as it seems, is enough to be proud of.

            For this new year, I aspire to be more observant and wise with my decisions. I also plan to start reading international novels. I have a lot of things in mind that I would like to achieve this 2022. I am really hoping that this year would be a good year for me and my loved ones. However, I am truly aware that a perfect year is non-existent, therefore, I would also work hard to be strong enough to survive whatever challenge 2022 gives me. I am extremely looking forward for what this year has to offer.
