Dear Self,
As I sit down to write this, I realize just how much has changed in 2024. It's been a while since I last penned my thoughts, but this year deserves a special reflection.
This year marked the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one. Quitting my job was a monumental decision. It wasn't easy, but I chose my well-being and happiness over the comfort of familiarity. That step took immense courage and has been the catalyst for so many positive changes.
Moving to Australia was another bold move. Starting afresh in a new country brought its own set of challenges, but it also opened doors to countless opportunities. The vibrant culture, the new experiences, and the beautiful landscapes have made this journey incredibly enriching. I'm grateful for the chance to rebuild and grow in a place that feels more like home with each passing day.
One constant throughout all this change has been my love for my amazing boyfriend. Despite the upheaval and new beginnings, our bond has remained strong, proving that our love can withstand even the most turbulent times. This year, we took a significant step forward in our relationship, solidifying our commitment to each other. His support has been my anchor, and for that, I'm deeply thankful.
I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my parents, siblings, and close friends. Their unwavering support, love, and encouragement have been invaluable throughout this journey. Knowing that they are always there for me has given me the strength to pursue my dreams and embrace change with confidence.
By the end of this year, I've had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful people. Moving to a new place has expanded my social circle, introducing me to individuals who have brought positivity, kindness, and joy into my life. These new friendships have been a cherished gift, making this transition smoother and more delightful.
2024 has been a year of significant change and growth. It's been a journey of leaving behind what no longer serves me and embracing the unknown with open arms. I'm proud of the steps I've taken and excited for the adventures that lie ahead.
"here's to more growth, more love, and more incredible moments in the years to come..."
With gratitude,
