Bye 2021, Hello 2022...May the odds be ever in our favor

 

29th December 2021

2021 is coming to an end and I remember vividly writing wishlists last year for 2021, BUT now 2022 is coming really really soon?? Time flies so fast in what I feel like in a split second, you get to grow one year older (and one inch wider 🤭). Whatever it is, I’m grateful for everything, both good and bad things that I have experienced this year.

The most significant words uttered to me this year was the moment when F (a close friend of mine) said, “Diyana, you look happy”. Nahhh it did instantly hit me, yes I am happier! You can agree to disagree but the hardest thing to do in this world is to love yourself and to know that you are worthy enough. From there, only can you accept yourself for who you truly are. You are not born perfect, you have strengths and weaknesses, just like everybody else. You are perfectly imperfect but you are always allowed and welcome to strive for the best for your own self, for your good well-being. It is indeed, a process a.k.a. your journey. And in the process, a small progress is still considered progress, nevertheless.

For next year, I don’t have specific wishlists anymore lol. 2022, I just wish for all the good things in life and I hope that wherever I go, I would always be surrounded with good and nice people to keep me grounded from the harsh world we are living now. Words, amazingly and undoubtly possess a great impact on someone. Let’s be that somebody who chooses their words wisely, bcs just so you know, everyone is struggling mentally or physically, especially during these hard times.
