I managed to wake up for another January




Embracing the gaps of which lingers within my sixteen year old body: 

A new year goal


             As the new year unfolds upon me, I find myself reflecting on the person I aspire to become and the goals I wish to achieve. This year, I am committed to personal growth, academic excellence, and building meaningful relationships. By setting clear objectives and embracing the journey ahead, I aim to transform my aspirations into reality, bringing it to life.

             Personal development is a lifelong journey, and this year I am dedicated to enhance my self-awareness and emotional intelligence. I plan to engage in regular self-reflection, maybe through journaling to better understand my strengths and areas for improvement. By improving a growth mindset, I hope to face challenges with resilience and adaptability, viewing them as opportunities for learning rather than obstacles.

             In the field of academics, I am determined to achieve excellence by setting specific, and attainable goals. This includes actively participating in class discussions, and seeking out research opportunities to deepen my understanding of my field. I recognize that time management and discipline are crucial, so I intend to create a structured study schedule and minimize distractions to enhance productivity.

             Building and nurturing relationships is essential for personal fulfillment. This year, I aim to strengthen my connections with family and friends by being more present and attentive. I also aspire to expand my network by joining clubs or organizations that align with my interests, providing opportunities to meet individuals who share similar passions. By practicing empathy and active listening, I hope to become a more supportive friend and a better communicator. And one more thing, this time, for myself. I will be more open, honest, and genuinely kind to myself. 

             Setting these goals is my very first step forward to become the person I aspire to be this year. By
committing to personal growth, academic excellence, meaningful relationships, and overall well-being, I am offering the best of my eforts for a fulfilling and successful year. I understand that the journey may hold me back with challenges, but with determination and a positive mindset, I am confident in my ability to achieve these goals.​​

Grasping the map of months I had last year

 

The stars that wrapped MY December

             The very last month of the year 2024, December, a month reserved for joy, love, hope, and genuine warmth. That December of last year gave me the opportunity to spend quality time with people I hold close to my heart. We had moments of prolonged laughter that echoed around the places we were in. I had days where I was tucked away comfortably in my bed, doing nothing and just reflecting on what I have been through that year. All I could say is that, that Christmas was different. 

                That December, I had my sixteenth birthday. I went out with my friends, ate dinner with my family, shared stories, and passed on laughter that remained still in our hearts. It was then Christmas, the highlight of the month. We had a simple gathering. Food on the table, games, and pure joy sewing our hearts closer than before. 

                     It is past December, and I am here still reliving those moments we had out of pure comfort. Though deep within my heart, I wished that I could shrink to my size as I were back then to have a different level of reliving the experience. Those days do hit hard. That said, I love the days last December put me through.
