2023 hasn't been a bad year just as it wasn't a bed of roses for me but I definitely achieved a whole lot in the year 2023 in fact I would say, it has been a year that I've made the biggest achievement in my two decades plus so far on earth. Achievements ranging from hive down to every other aspects in life and beyond, remarkable goals and things i never thought would have accomplished on a mere day! The year 2023 has become one of those years I wouldn't get rid off in my memory for a decent period of time due to how much it has impacted in me! But this article isn't to glorify the past year but rather, I want to share the excitement of the new year and how I wandered into it and the celebration.

Firstly, I would like to say that we do have two occasions during a new year celebration and that is the season of love which is Christmas and the new year which of course are just seven days apart and for me, I don't really celebrate the christmas season because i sometimes feel like its a normal day for me and i rather save that strength to celebrate the new year. How did my new year celebration go?

Nothing serious, nothing unusual, still the same way we did it in 2010, 2012, 2015, 2018, 2023 and I repeated the process again in 2024 but this time around with a super and more intense feeling of joy than ever!
31st day of the month of December, I was in church from 10:pm in other to take part in the cross over night which is a usual thing for me and more like a new year ritual.
Thanking God for the life and the grace and preservation through 365 days in the year and heading towards another lap.

There is a remarkable feeling of joy and excitement seeing yourself whole and hearty in a new year with more than a thousand people by your right and ten thousands by your left, screaming with so much excitement at 12 am in the morning on the 1st day of the first month of the new year.
Fireworks blasting and shattering in the sky and people calling their families, friends and loved ones home and abroad with tears of joy and screaming a happy new year with overwhelming excitements. I would call this event my actual celebration of the new year because there was nothing like it to be honest.

Getting home that night I couldn't even sleep because the excitement was still recurring live within and outside. But well, I still slept one way or the other and I had to prepare a nice meal that morning to further celebrate the new year while making sure I wished as much friends, families and loved ones as far and as wide as possible. The only unfortunate thing was that I was all alone by myself, no family around as they all traveled for their christmas celebration but it wasn't bad afterall because i still had a rejoicing celebration. 🙂 How was your new year too? Was it just like another day of your life or was there something different about it?
