It's December 26th. I was thinking the same as the 31st approaching, not for what to do but for the year that has ended, a new one getting started. 2025 was a hectic one; I knew about that, and the same happened, and the coming one should be a healing one.
So yeah, I am not focused on the night, but the transition of the year, why?
I do still remember the 31st night of 2023. Even at that time, I didn't go out to celebrate with my friends; I was standing before my creator, on my prayer mat. I did something massive at the end of 2023, and I knew things were gonna get worse pretty badly, so I was praying to get things sorted in 2024, and guess what, things got even worse, not for me but to the people related to me, which kinda affected me as well. On 31st December of 2024, I knew it was gonna be worse, way more than I could imagine. I was prepared and getting ready for 2025. I didn't celebrate that night either; I was praying for the year to come. And as I told you, it was worse, actually the worst year I can imagine, faced so much struggle that it would be far more than the combined years of all the previous years I have lived.
"ᵂᵒʳᵈˢ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵖⁱᶜˢ ᵃʳᵉ ᵐⁱⁿᵉ, ᵘⁿˡᵉˢˢ ᴵ ˢʰᵒᵘᵗᵒᵘᵗ ʷʰᵉʳᵉ ᵗʰᵉʸ ᶜᵃᵐᵉ ᶠʳᵒᵐ!"
2025 is ending, so what about 2026? How's the transition now?
Alhamdulillah, things are getting better, faster than they could be for the situations I had faced. But yeah, 2026 is gonna be a healing one, hoping not to go through the extreme struggles, instead sort out the tangled situations one by one. All the suffering and wounds that have been created, I need to heal them in 2026 if things stay stable and steady, like I am hoping for and seeing the signs. If the Almighty keeps things in my favor, 2026 is gonna be the start of my year.
So yeah, it's just going to be another night, nothing to celebrate, but yeah, a marker with hope to throw away the hardships behind and step into the better one ahead. Each and every 31st December, I tend to write a New Year’s resolution post, stating the hardships coming and the hopes I'm carrying forward. I wish to read the past ones and sit for another to remind me of the days I have left behind and expect ahead. Reality goes way beyond our imagination, yet we try to manage our ways to align with reality. At the end of the day, we gotta fight to keep things in our favor.
No party, no celebration, just another night with lots of hope for a better year ahead.
