It’s been approximately three years since my last blog post, and honestly, I wasn’t sure if I would ever return to blogging. Despite taking a hiatus from formal writing, I continued to journal and jot down thoughts here and there because there’s an inexplicable sense of peace that comes with putting pen to paper. In the past, I used to meticulously list down my goals and write a prayer to God every New Year’s Eve. However, as 2023 drew to a close, I opted not to engage in that ritual. The year was a mix of beauty, heartbreak, and overwhelming moments.
