Dear self,
It’s okay if you feel a little lost as the year draws closer. Achievements aren’t always about medals or recognition. Sometimes, it’s about surviving the storms, the silent battles you fought, and the moments when you felt like giving up but didn’t. This year was tough, and you stood your ground. That’s worth celebrating.
Remember how you picked yourself up when things fell apart? How did you keep going even when doubt whispered louder than hope? That resilience is a testament to your strength. So, stand tall. Keep believing in yourself, even when the path ahead seems uncertain. Don’t lose sight of the dreams tucked away in your heart. Hold tight to your faith—it has carried you through before, and it will again.
As you turn the page to a new chapter, take the lessons and scars with you. They’ve shaped you into someone wiser, stronger, and braver. Let them fuel your journey forward. Better days are waiting—they always are, even when it feels otherwise.
So, tonight, breathe deeply. Look back not with regret but with gratitude for how far you’ve come. Tap yourself on the back—you’ve earned it. Celebrate not just what you’ve done, but who you are becoming. Lift a glass to a brighter, happier, healthier new year.
You did well this year. You’ll do even better in the next.
With love and pride,
Blithe
