An intense year between disappointments and joys. (Week 288)

I always say that I am not a person who gets angry or upset easily, something too serious must happen, rather the not good things that happen make me sad rather than angry. Although there are some things that happen in life that hit so hard that they can cause a lot of annoyance or their counterpart in immense happiness.

Of course this subject is purely subjective, it depends on how each person lives the things that happen inside them and no one can understand another because they don't have the same emotions or don't live it in the same way.

This year 2025 was an extremely intense year, because of the amount of things to solve that probably did not depend on me, but it had to be done anyway. Many events occurred, some unforeseen and out of my control, we could say they were of major cause and required a lot of action, strategy and patience from my family and me.

A tragedy struck my hometown, an unprecedented flood, in March of this year, and as a consequence many hidden truths were revealed about people we thought we knew. What bothered me most this year 2025 was betrayal, lying, concealment and decisiveness. Falsehood in people is something I can't stand and there was a person who as a good impostor pretended to be a person he was not, he hid facts from us that caused many losses. His evil attitude caused harm to me and my family, causing us not only that, but also great anguish.

We had to resort to exhaustive strategies, wait for time, have a lot of patience and make many consultations, seek advice, in short, a long way to go that through hard work and corresponding actions could end in a good ending.

But many times what was supposed to be a very bad thing can bring good and happy things. That same fact generated situations where I felt happy, happy to know that I have people I can trust, that even though they are far away, the bond of friendship is strong and sincere. My friend, my best friend, of whom I talk a lot, was the one who collaborated with another family member to solve these issues. But her attitude made me cry with joy on more than one occasion, her offers of help brought tears to my eyes, because in the midst of so many bad things that happened during those months, she was there, present and not only with words but with hard actions.

Out of all this came something much better, all the action wisely taken brought better results than we had before the natural catastrophe, as if it were a big jigsaw puzzle being put together, a very beautiful one.

Recently we also found out about something that we had never been told about and that affected us as a family, something that has no solution, a material theft that happened about three years ago. And what bothered me was the lack of honesty and communication, but the person who hid it from us passed away two years ago. I forgave him and let go of what happened.

Having a friend like the one I have makes me immensely happy, I have few but reliable friends and she is my sister, we always say that we were separated at birth, even though she is older than me.

I think both what bothers me and what makes me happy with people's attitudes. But what made me most happy this year was having people who supported me and gave me words of encouragement and above all the fact that I found understanding from those people. Not everyone understands a situation and my friend and another person were there knowing what it is like, what it feels like. They were my happiness.

Nothing is all bad, you have to be able to see the light in these things, like the light in the dark tunnel. This year 2025 is behind us and I hope for a year with many positive consequences of everything that has happened. Thank you @galenkp for these thought-provoking weekend topics.
