Rebalancing faith.
If I had to pick two words to describe this year, those are the ones I would choose.
My God-given rights however don’t constrain me when it comes to words on a page, hence this series. I intend this to be a collection of several pieces, looking back at the year that I have had, tracking my own progress and sharing thoughts on the happenings of 2025. It may ramble at times. This is going to be me laying down my thoughts and bringing closure to my 24th year on Earth. If it ends up being an entertaining read along the way, even better.
I have the relatively unique misfortune of having been born on New Year’s Day. Most of the hospitals on the day of my birth were, understandably, short-staffed, and not entirely ready to deliver me. But my mother managed to persevere and ensure that she gave me one of the least common birthdays possible - not including the fake birth certificates, which I cannot emphasise enough, I don’t have one of.
However, I am grateful for that, because being born on the 1st of January has a couple of unique perks - first, the entire world is technically celebrating your birthday at midnight, and second, it gives me the opportunity to reflect on two things at once - getting older, and looking back at the calendar year as it ends.
This year, for instance, I found myself rebuilding faith in myself and in those close to me, while steadily losing a significant portion of it in the world at large.
On that note, let’s get into the thick of things and look back at the year that has been 2025.
I will be releasing #Recap-2025 blogs as I get time to write them, and we will hopefully be done by the time this year rolls to an end.
