December is the month of reflection before the new year… unless we want to make the same mistakes.

I like to describe it like the period after a break up and before a start of a new relationship – the previous year was messy but it had its good points too? But the challenge lies in discerning what we want for the future. My relationship story this year is a good example.

At the start of 2023, I went through a short-lived heart ache which became a hidden blessing. Though a month is a relatively short time to recover, it was enough to discover what I wanted in life and in my future partner. I realised that maybe if I became very specific with what I wanted, he would appear like magic. And he did.

My current partner is someone who I can see myself marrying and growing old with. As elderly ladies often tell me, “you just know they’re the one.” I’ve known since the day I met him that he was the one. Frankly, we’re only 10 months into our relationship so it’s hard to say. But I think I can bet safely on this one to last.

He makes me happy beyond words and leads me towards becoming a person more self-aware and virtuous. I can’t describe how much he means to me in the short time we’ve had. Likewise, I believe a beautiful year is waiting around the corner because if my partner has taught me anything, it’s hope.

Life is indeed worth living.

I hope the coming year will be a wonderful year. I hope that you will figure out what it is exactly you want out of your year so you have a path.

And all the best.

Rooting for you!
