Hello, 2025!
A New Year Means New Opportunities
New Year 2025 is here! What does this mean? It means the start of a new year is fresh for everyone. It’s like a reset. Yes, we will all be another year older and, hopefully, wiser. But a new year gives us all a chance to do things we didn’t do in 2024 or finish what was started that year.
This is my first Medium post for 2025. In my last post of 2024, I reflected on the year. I wrote about the highs, the lows, and everything in between. I wrote about my fears as personal missteps will come into play in 2025. But I realize that I’m playing with my life.
I’m my worst enemy. I am the obstacle in my path. The biggest obstacle. I must get out of my way if my life is to get back on track. But it’s easier said than done. Life throws twists and turns at every step. I must be more diligent and focused on my journey to happiness. I want to be more than alright — I want to be happy.
2025 isn’t responsible for my happiness. Neither was 2024. I have to make myself happy. I tried to do just that. But my demons kept rearing their ugly heads. Grief reminded me of my mortality. Fear made me work two jobs to keep food on the table. Resentment made me bristle at my former district, and I was mistreated. Anger clouded my judgment.
