The year, 2025, has been a mix of everything for me. There was the good, the bad, the unexpected and everything else in between. If, back in January, someone had told me what type of year I would have, I wouldn't have hardly believed them.
It started like every other year. I was full of plans and hopes for the year. Somewhere along the line though, life decided to do its thing. That is, to test and teach me things in ways I didn't see coming.
I had pleasant days, days that I smiled and laughed a lot, and days I was just grateful to be alive. I had moments where I laughed so hard that I forgot about stress. And others where everything felt fine but heavy for no apparent reason.
There were days I knew I was doing okay, and days where I'd just sit, tired of trying to figure things out. At one point, I was so run down I was actually started wishing the year would just be over and I started counting down to December. I started to tell myself, "Maybe this is not my year". I was close to classifying 2025 as my worst year.
Some certain things weren't happening the way I wanted or hoped it would, and I was inspired by nothing to put in effort to make it work. Ultimately, everything changed, though not all at once.
I began seeing things differently. I began to grow, to release some of the things that are not helpful to me anymore, and to know that not every bad moment represents a bad life. I learned that peace is not something that just can just happen to me. I must to choose it, sometimes over and over again.
This year taught me patience. It taught me that sometimes breaking down isn't the end. It's just part of rebuilding.
I did break down a lot, though. I couldn't keep my mind on what I was doing and I was nearly confused about what was happening with everything. But when I crashed I found a way to come back up. Somewhere along the line throughout all of these ups and downs, I found strength. I began to understand myself better - what I could deal with, what I needed to walk away from, and also what really deserved my worry. It actually amazes me how I managed to find clarity through all.
How is my year this far? I would say that it was not exactly the easiest year, but it has been meaningful. It has challenged me in ways that I did not know I could be, it has made me tougher, calmer and I am also a little more confident in myself.
2025, for me, was neither the best year nor the worst - it was somewhere in between. The year was filled with its own struggles and uncertainties, even after all that, I believe what I can say is that I'm proud of where I am now.
This is my entry to the Indiaunited prompt for the week.

Sometimes people's years go well and sometimes they go badly. This is natural. This is the law of nature. We have to follow it. We have to enjoy the good days and forget the bad days.
Sure the ups and downs are certain but the main thing is overcoming them glad for where you are today
