Happy New Year!
I like January because it feels like a restart. I know it’s the beginning of a new year, but I also feel that everything negative that I may have been feeling towards the end last year doesn’t feel so heavy, because it’s a new year; it’s a new chapter and another opportunity to start again and do better. I think that’s what excites me most about January - it’s the start of something new. Oh high school musical. High school musical is my childhood, it was my favourite and still is. Every song, every dance routine, I’ve got it down.
Anyways, you know how people say that they’ve chosen a particular word for the year or theme that they want to focus on throughout the year? Something I focused on last year and implemented was boundaries. For the first time in my life, I was like no, I don’t want to do that and I don’t have to do that. It’s very empowering.
Boundaries are something that are for life. They’re important and I know now how necessary they are in order to protect myself and maintain my peace. Also, not everybody needs to know everything. 2024 was definitely about setting boundaries.
This year, three words come to mind: Ambition, Freedom and Peace.
My mind right now is focused a lot on my career and finding a job that I love, because right now I’m not loving it, and if you have read any of my previous blogs posts or posts on instagram, you’ll get a very good insight of just how miserable I was, and how much I was struggling. I think also it’s one of those things that’ll take some time and I know I’m still young, but for my mental health and my own professional growth, I need to find a new job; one that fulfils me and makes me excited to go to work everyday.
I am very much in the mindset of going after things and if they work out, amazing and if not, I’ll still be amazing. I want to try different things and just live my best life. That’s my energy for 2025.
It has been a great start to the year. I started it off with friends, I became an aunty again and have a brand new nephew which is probably the best thing to come out of January (literally). I’m focused on the positive, my goals and purely on things that bring me joy. Hopefully next month, I have an update on the job front. Cross your fingers for me, please.
