2025 indeed has been a year of Ups and downs for me. I had great moments of joy that made it a wonderful year for me and it has also been a year I smelled the fragrance of a hell living.
Life is one thing we all give thanks to God for. Thanking him and appreciating him for his protection and guide all through phases of danger and troubles most especially after I had experience the loss of a loved one, it had become a heavy fear in my heart to lose another loved person.
Although we all know and believe that this world is not our home but no one ever wants to go back home willingly and easily.
Starting this year, it was in my resolution list to strive hard in saving up so I can resign from my workplace by December and not resume there 2026 if possible due to the whole toxicity but it all ended up turning around when I had to accept the reality in leaving earlier than planned.
It could have even been a bit disturbing if it ended there but for the fact that I had to fight and drag with a renowned man of riches and power in order to save and protect my name, image and not been subdued just because an employer feels he could do anything to a commoner because he has the money and power to do so.
In the same month my wound of losing my mum reopened more (because it isn't just the annual remembrance that reopen one's wound and sore of losing a loved one but practically everyday) that would make it a year of her leaving, I was been dragged by my employer who threatened to show me who he is because I didn't succumb to his conditions or plead to get his work back of which I also had to teach him a lesson.
Like! It was a hell of an experience but up till date, I remain thankful to God for every strength and courage he enabled me to have during the time and even if I was scared in the four corners of my room, I still stood up to him to fight the battle to the very end.
This may have made my whole plans for the year flop or another means of getting another employment been hard since years of efforts and dedication ended up in waste but still, I was glad I left and could fight for myself instead of being trampled on because of power.
Above all, in the midst of all these troubles, God still bestowed upon me a great blessing of a bouncing baby girl for my twin sister with no stress or emergency spending and she still came in the same month as my mum.
The belief of my tribe when having a baby when you just lost someone is that the person came back. So among her names, we included Yetunde (meaning Mum came back).
Some other good things happened which lifted fears off my mind that part of the things my parents longed for in happening ended up happening even if it was after the demise of my mum but they still became accomplished and became joy for the family.
I may not have ticked all my list yet or unable to touch some but I'm still grateful for still being able to fight through everything that has happened so far this year, still having my family and loved ones with me in peace and good health and hopefully I can still get to tick the list.
