Going through every year is like repeating a cycle, although the events might be different, having an impact that varies, but the emotional resonance is quite familiar. It's a clear fact that each year brings new experiences, events, and challenges that will definitely put us through a rollercoaster of emotions, but they aren't new to us, even though the depth of these feelings might differ.
Last year, getting married might have been what made you happy the most, but this year, it could be having a baby or bringing one of your long-time dreams to reality. These are definitely unforgettable experiences, but we must never forget that life can't always be perfect. There will always be the bad moments in every cycle, and these events just happen unexpectedly, proving that life is really unpredictable.
I had lots of experience in 2024, so many that I can't forget easily because of their impacts on my life. Unfortunately, there were the bad experiences too, which I didn't pray or wish for. They just happen to remind me that life can't be perfect no matter how much I try. After all, life is all about good and bad—the most important thing is creating a balance with our emotions when life happens.
One of my very unforgettable moments in 2024 happened at the beginning of the year, and it was something I had always looked forward to after making up my mind to spend the rest of my life with Princess Dara. I met her at one of the terrible stages in my life, and surprisingly, she chose to settle with a guy like me.
It took a long time before I was able to get my life back on track, and she was there for me all through, so tying the knot with her was a dream for me. It finally happened, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best moments of my life and not just in the year 2024.
Everything was going smoothly until mid-2024 when new challenges came up. They were completely unexpected, and it was a tough time for us because we were affected mentally and emotionally, and our finances weren't exempted. I became deeply worried but at a point I had to put my worries away because the situation was just beyond us as a couple.
I just decided to commit everything to God's hands, and he did the usual. Our challenge disappeared overnight, and he gave us a testimony, something we thought wouldn't happen any time soon.
While still celebrating God's faithfulness, I fell ill in October. It happened so fast that I became scared that I might just pass away in the twinkle of an eye. I could barely move around, my weight dropped drastically, and it was really troubling. My family became scared despite the doctor's assurance that I would be fine, and it's very understandable. I was under medication all through October till early December, and it affected me in numerous ways.
Up to this moment, my body still hurts from my encounters with needles, and if I am not exaggerating, the drugs I took in the last three months surpass all I took in my entire life.
Regardless of everything that happened, I am grateful for life. I am happy to be around, and it's okay to say 2024 is a great one. Yes, I know a lot of things I didn't foresee happened but it doesn't take away the fact that great things also happened during the journey.
There are so many things I didn't share, and that would be stories for another day because I intend to make another post when the time is right.
