People might say December doesn’t feel special apart from the holidays, the lights, and the usual end-of-year rush which I understand. For many, it’s just a festive season, nothing more.

However, for me, December has consistently held a unique significance. It’s not about big shows or drama, but more about a quiet meaning that pops up as the year ends. It’s the one month that feels like it’s gently tapping me on the shoulder, asking me to slow down, look around, and actually feel my life.

As we hit the end of the year, the twelfth month, I just naturally start looking inward. This is a great time to think about my journey and how I’ve grown.

When I look back on this year, it’s a mix of everything life offers. I met new people who added colour to my days. I let go of friendships that no longer aligned with my values. I tasted new food, travelled to a new city, and tried things that stretched me in ways I didn’t expect.

I was disappointed at times. I doubted my decisions. I questioned choices I made with full confidence. But I also helped people, learned things unintentionally, and found myself remembered in beautiful, surprising ways.

I also let go of habits that drained me and picked up healthier ones that made me feel alive again. I prayed more. Not just in moments of fear or confusion, but about everything. The small things, the decisions, the people, the dreams I’m still walking toward. It grounded me in a way nothing else did.

Admist this change; the good, the uncertain and the bittersweet. I have experience significant growth.
I’m more wiser now.
Softer where I need to be.
Stronger where it matters.
More confident in the future I’m walking into, even without knowing all the details.

Indeed, while December may appear unremarkable to some, I perceive it as a period of profound clarity. It serves as a gentle affirmation of successfully navigating another year, fostering a deeper sense of self-reliance and trust. This value alone makes this month particularly significant.

Wishing you all a wonderful December and happy holidays ahead. May your days be light, your heart be calm, and your hope stay bright.
