I’m so proud of me & you.

You’re awesome and I’m proud of you.

The official last post of 2025, and it lands exactly on my post day. This year was everything for me; it was hectic but amazing. Now I can proudly say that the person I was at the beginning of the year and now are totally different. I am now proud and strong. This year taught me a lot of things, like no challenge is as hard as how I make it in my mind. I can do a lot of things if I want to, and I did. Definitely, I am really happy how the year is ending. However, many moments really showed me the worst; yet, I feel that I learned and grew a lot. Everyone’s journey is different for you; the year might be different; however, remember you still made it, so be proud of it. Always be grateful for what you have in the end, because it is always more than we think. When I look back on my year, it was a rollercoaster with so many things happening. Sometimes it made me want to leave everything, while at times, I was grateful for those things. I would like to dedicate this blog post to you all. I want to show that it’s totally okay if not everything went the right way. You survived the year, and now it is time to buckle up and live the next year. I am proud of you for every single thing. You worked hard, you showed up, you believed in yourself, and there is so much waiting for you. We need to start appreciating ourselves a lot and stop criticising ourselves for mistakes. No one is perfect, but everyone is trying their best. You are trying your best, you are making sure that at the end you see the result you always wanted. And you don’t realise, but in doing so, you are also getting stronger to handle every situation. So before the year’s end, remember all the moments where you have tried your best, where you stopped yourself from giving up, and where you stood still even when the world feels heavy. May the coming year fill you with everything that you ever desire.

I’m growing into someone I’m proud of.

My annual list of things I learned is back again. It felt like just yesterday, I uploaded my 2024 one, and now here I am with another one. To be honest, 2025 was the year for me when I grew and changed significantly. I stepped into the adult world, started working and doing things that I never thought I would ever do. There is so much that I learned and will be taking with me to the next year.

Take that step.

Small steps in the right direction are better than big ones in the wrong direction.

I was never the child who believed that I could do anything because I was never introduced to the concept of slowly slowly when you grow up, things will start to make sense, you will get to know yourself better, you will understand how much you can do, and everything will work out if you make up your mind. As an adult, I have figured so much, but on my own, I took challenges which everyone called a waste of time, but I saw it as an opportunity to grow to become a better person, to test how much I can do. I want to be tired, but by doing something that will test all of my capabilities and how much more I can do. And for that, I need to take that step, the step that I know will be so challenging, but if I don’t do it today, I won’t do it ever. I feel lucky to see myself as someone who gets excited about taking on a challenge rather than being intimidated by it. Because I have been in that phase where I have lost opportunities as I thought I won’t be able to do it, but how can I know that if I never tried it? It is so important to remember that at the end of the day, one is flawed in something; nobody is perfect, but everybody is trying to achieve something, to make meaning of their life, and we also need to do that. Everything I have done in my life till now was not successful, I would say I saw many failures, but the lessons I learned from them and how proud I became because I trusted myself and my capabilities. Some steps are meant to be taken irrespective of the fear of failure because those are the same steps that will make you aware of how capable you are. So take that step, you never know where you will end up, what lessons you will learn and how beautiful life is.

Don’t Look Back.

Don’t look back. You’re not going that way.

In my life, I have reached that stage where I have gained confidence, where I have learned to believe in myself, and I have finally started to learn how to handle my insecurities. And this happened because I made myself and my mind strong. However, there are moments when I feel my insecurities getting the best of me but I know how to handle them.

The way I have learned is by not letting myself look at my past mistakes as mistakes, but rather as my learning points. I believe we should only look back to see how far we have come. Sometimes we dwell so much in our past and its mistakes that we forget that the entire present and future are there to live through. In life, we have a lot of moments, many of them are about learning, which definitely makes us feel bad about ourselves; however, that’s all the moments that make us strong, as much as we are fighting and still standing strong.

We have to live in our present; we don’t have to dwell on our past, nor do we have to think too much about our future. It always works out, maybe in a hard way, but it works out, and that’s what is important. The present is the most important time in our lives as we fight through so much just to live in the moment, so don’t just look back and feel how much better you could have done. Believe me, you tried your best, and maybe life wanted you to be tougher for better experiences.

I always have the motto to never look back and regret things because that only makes me feel horrible about myself and how I was unable to achieve things. And always, that was a phase for me to grow, and now, when I look at myself, I feel so proud because the things that made me doubt are now just mere things. Now I can achieve more because of my stronger mindset, and I am so happy and grateful about it.

So remember, look back only when you need to feel proud of yourself, to see how far you have come, to appreciate your strength, and just to see how much better you have gotten.

Wake up and live.

Pause.

Pausing is powerful, it creates space to refocus.

When it is said that having too much and not having too much time standing in the same line makes so much sense to me now. Basically, when we are busy, we want free time, but when we are on a break, we get bored, isn’t it true? In life, when we are busy, we are busy in our brains, and as adults, finding time to pause never crosses our minds, which makes us so drained of life. Taking a break is so important that we often think it’s like wasting our time, but no, because just like physical being is important, our mental state also needs a rest. Ironically, we are so busy in life that we have to think about taking a break from our routine. Obviously, it is not easy to just say, and the mind will shut down, but think about it in a way by asking yourself questions about how much you need it. Everything needs a reset, and the same goes for your mind and body. When we continue to do work in auto mode, we become tired and drained, and life starts to become more stressful than it already is. That is why pausing is very important, as it helps you enjoy your life, and you can take a deep breath peacefully. What does pause actually mean? According to me, having a big breakfast without hurrying to get back to work, taking a slow walk to a favourite cafe or bookstore, or maybe just sleeping and watching FRIENDS. Things that bring you happiness from inside that will help you rebuild your vision for life are why taking a pause is important. Remember, in life, we have to look far ahead, so taking a pause in between will help you reach it slowly but happily. Sp of you were thinking of taking a pause, but are unable to just do it, and you will thank yourself later.

The pause is a place of power. Go there often.

Vulnerability

Vulnerability is terrifying, the courage it takes to reveal your heart is one of the most daunting…and yet rewarding experiences in life, it will set you free.

I think the concept of being strong in life seems to be a little misunderstood. I feel like this world has made people ashamed if they show their vulnerability and nothing is wrong with this. We are humans, not robots, we are bound to have feelings and every feeling is valid just like being vulnerable. In every person’s life, there are moments of vulnerability where they reflect on their life. Some days we just want to sit and be vulnerable rather than strong and just save up the energy of being strong. Our mind needs a rest and it’s okay to have days where your mind is empty and you feel like doing nothing. Our whole life we are busy doing things to keep up with the world but that doesn’t mean we don’t deserve a break. When we are in the stage of vulnerability we actually see who we are, we see our true self without the mask and allowing people to see us which is one of the greatest and fearest things in life. Talking up the courage to open up is one of the strongest things to do. Strength lies in vulnerability. It takes courage to open up about fears, dreams and hopes that we have kept locked inside the heart but connect on a deeper level. Sometimes it is mandatory to show people that we are humans and being vulnerable is not weak but it makes you stronger on a more profound level. There is nothing like being vulnerable means weak, it’s just a time to rest and reflect on how you truly are. There is a fear of how others will view you with your vulnerable side, however, remember being vulnerable means being true to yourself. But vulnerability is frightening too because not everyone can open up about being vulnerable however it will set you free, and it’s a rewarding experience of your life to see who you truly are and what you truly deserve.

Embracing vulnerability unlocks true strength.

A Random Midnight Thought…

Acceptance of what can’t change can actually change your whole life.

The most important thing I have learned in my life is that to succeed I need to accept and face my faults rather than make excuses to save myself and give myself false assurance. It is all about us, in the end, we can’t blame anyone else if it’s even their fault nothing is going to change anyway. Nobody will take responsibility for our life, we only have to take it and acceptance is vital. The hardest thing is to accept the inevitable and we know nothing will change it, it has happened but we need to accept it. I know myself and my faults but accepting that will highlight my insecurities I want to run away from. But I know somewhere that I need to accept it, it is a part of me and I am not perfect nor do I want to become one. I just need to see myself through all my flaws and accept all the faults I made but also it made me reach somewhere. If that fault had not happened maybe I would not be here sharing my words with the world. When I started blogging, I did a lot of research but never I doubted how I was going to do it and here I am. It is going to be three years of my blogging journey in 2 months, isn’t it crazy but it is said true when you are having fun, time flies. With blogging many good things came but before I made myself better I had accepted the inevitable of my life that I can’t change.

It takes a lot of courage to accept the fault but it is the way to move ahead. Failure is not a bad thing but a thing that will play a role in shaping your dreams and life because through unright ways we reach unexpected destinations. You are doing great and don’t shy away from your failure keep the courage to accept it maybe it might open doors to things that you always longed for or things that you never knew you needed.  

This comeback is personal, it’s apology to myself.

Focus on the Good!

Give More Attention to what is right in your life than what is wrong.

It’s much harder to be grateful than to complain about them. Focusing on what is good for us rather than complaining about things that don’t matter to us. I truly believe that how much of a good thing you do for others one bad thing will destroy everything. People never talk about how good people are to them, how much help they received but just one bad thing from that person then everything becomes sour. Honestly, I have seen so much of this as well as felt that now I don’t even care. I just know that kindness is the greatest gift one can receive and if you have them never lose them. Focusing on things takes a lot of effort, actually positive things but when it comes to irrational and negative things it’s never hard. Take your hands off of what you can’t control and get your hands on what you can change. Blaming things, time and people are never going to work out it’s all you, if you decide to focus on yourselves, your positive changes and there you will know that everything is good if you focus on good. Just focus on positive vibes, things that bring you happiness, I know it’s hard but life is too short to focus on the negatives.

we’re all works

in progress.

Regrets.

Life is short, so live it. Love is rare, so grab it. Fear controls you, so face it. Memories are precious, so cherish them. We only get one life, so live it!

Life is so short that should be spend wisely by doing things we love, by being grateful, by taking the opportunities that comes our way but we humans always have a tendency to do the opposite of what we should do. Time never waits for anyone and we should also not wait for things which we don’t know will ever came instead we should embraced the chances and opportunities that are waiting for us to claim it. We only have one life that means we only have one chance to do whatever we want. I believe thinking unnecessarily about things just make it worse. Take the chance you get in your life because you only live ones; never be afraid that you can’t do it until you have not tried it. Regrets of not taking the chances you got, it’s a very worse kind of feeling. It hurts more than a breakup. It shows that you have no believe in yourself, you are afraid. Life will moves on, people will forget, maybe you as well but the feeling of regret will always be there no matter what, reminding yourself that ‘why did not I take it?’ Life is all about getting the experience of things which we never had. Learning and doing the things we never did. Life is all about learning new things rather than doing the same thing again and again because you are afraid that maybe you are not good at it or you can’t do it. Fear is the biggest enemy of our lives, whenever we think to try something new, fear always gets the best out of ourselves and we just backed up. That’s where our test starts and to overcome our fear and do it without any second thought. And believe me the experience of doing something new, will be unforgettable and in the end you will have ‘no regrets’. No regret means you are living your life to the fullest and enjoying every second of your life! Have a great and happy day:)

Look forward with HOPE.

Not backwards with REGRET.

Memories:)

The Best gifts in the world are not in the material objects one can buy from the store, but in the memories we make with the people we love.

Amanda Boyarshinov.

Memories have us connected to our past. It’s like having a small part of our brain dedicated to store memories in them. There are some good memories which keep us going and then there are some ‘not so good’ memories which keep us from giving up. Good memories is all about people you love, about things you adore, the things you want in your life, about your future and many more. The ‘not so good memories’ which makes you recognize about what you were and now what you are! An instant smile comes over you face about the good memories you spent with your peoples, it’s like a light got on in your mind and heart. Memories can be brought back but the emotions; feelings that were attached to them cannot be felt again. The time came, you created memories in that moment and now it’s all in your mind, the memories you created can never be the same. Memories are the reasons for us to go on in our lives. Time will go on, your age will go on, people will change but the memories will never fade away not even a small one. Memories are special in their own way. A small little thing which we thought was small in our past, now when you look at it and a sad smile takes over your face and you realize that that small little things was actually a thing which matters us more. Some memories are like you want to forget them but you can’t, and some are still you are trying to remember. Memories are not created for you to forget them it’s like when you are looking through the old albums which you somewhere found in your dusty attic, filled with dust and when you opened it and felt like you are in your past, feeling and reliving all the good and funny memories and sitting in the dusty, messy corner of the attic the moment is priceless. Ahhh! Feeling so nostalgia:( Create good memories, learn from your memories and just keep making memories and having fun! From making memories of your baby tooth falling to your hair turned grey, never stop making memories. Just like time, memories will never stop and you should also not stop making memories:)

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
