I started December 2024 with reflection and self-evaluation. I picked up my journal to review all the moments from this year. Honestly, I felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation—I was about to take a trip down memory lane, revisiting not just the good times but also the stress, pressure, and challenges I faced.
Unlike previous years, this time, I used a different journaling system. I kept a primary journal specifically for recording the lessons I learned along the way. This approach makes it so much easier to revisit and relearn those lessons. It also serves as a comforting reminder whenever I feel low. In a way, it feels like I’m creating a personalized guidebook for my life.
As I was reading through my journal, I was struck by how familiar everything felt—almost as if the entries were written in the present moment. Even the lessons I jotted down back in January, nearly a year ago, resonate deeply with what I’m experiencing now. It’s uncanny.
