Six Words That Defined My 2024

As I look back on 2024, six words rise and shine- Adaptability, Reconciliation, Creativity, Learning, Prioritization, and Change. Each word carries its own story and lessons.

Adaptability

2024 has been a year of constant adjustments and challenges, especially as a new mom. Having my mother by my side made everything feel manageable, from caring for my baby girl to handling household chores. But when she had to return home, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about my ability to navigate motherhood. With the unwavering support of my husband and faith in God, I’ve slowly found my footing. Each day brings new lessons, and while I still doubt myself at times, I’m growing alongside my little princess. I am learning to embrace the journey rather than striving for perfection.

Reconciliation

Family relationships can be complicated. Yet, 2024 brought opportunities to mend strained ties. It may sound dramatic, but reconciling with loved ones has brought peace and warmth back into our lives. We’ve gone from tension to amicable bonds, and for that, I’m truly grateful.

Creativity

In 2024, I didn’t blog as much as I’d hoped. However, I ventured into new creative territories. Thanks to Blogchatter’s campaigns, I explored writing short stories during ‘Write A Page A Day (WAPAD) campaign. One of my proudest moments this year was completing the “15-Day Reels Challenge.” A year ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed of participating. Breaking that mindset was liberating and, honestly, a lot of fun.

Learning

2024 has been a year of learning in every sense—creative writing, cooking, baby care, and wellness. Each day brought new lessons, reminding me that growth can even happen in the smallest, most mundane moments.

Prioritization

Understanding priorities has been a key theme this year. I’ve learned it’s okay to let go of some tasks to focus on what truly matters. For years, I exhausted myself trying to accommodate everyone and everything. Slowly, I’m learning to compartmentalize and prioritize without the guilt.

Change

They say change is the only constant but embracing it has never been easy for me. This year, however, has been all about change—personal, professional, and relational. From adapting to life with my baby to navigating evolving dynamics with people, I’ve survived and even thrived by learning to accept and embrace the inevitable.

As December comes to a close, I feel grateful for a year that tested, taught, and transformed me. Here’s to embracing the unknown and welcoming what’s to come!
