Well, upon everything the universe threw at me this year, the ones that did damage and the ones that totally knocked me down, the ones I successfully dodged and the ones that left scars. I can still smile and say this year has been one of my good years. Definitely better than last year.
We are in the first ember month which is the beginning of the last quarter of the year and I can proudly say I have achieved goals that I put work into and trust me when there are things that bother you or try to make you sad when you remember that you actually tried hard and put in effort for something you would feel and inner satisfaction with yourself.
This year, the first thing that when I think of makes me feel genuinely good was the smile I had the moment I checked my first semester results for the first time.
You know that popular TikTok sound? 鈥淚 built this sh*t, brick by brick!" Yeah, I felt it in my bones.
Last year, in the second semester, I had so much going on both physically, mentally, financially and socially that there wasn't a single green grade on my second-semester result.
It was just all plain white. And with my condition last year, I was kinda surprised I didn't even get an orange grade.
This year, when I began, and the financial tension went down, I told myself, 鈥淔inances aren't going to be an excuse this time, and the only thing that might come is mental stress but I wouldn't let anything get to me this time."
And of course they all came but I didn't give them any chance. I fought steadily and strongly, and I told myself that only a spiritual problem would prevent a change this year. And after my exams, half of the year I saw the results of my hard work and this time I felt I deserved it.
My second achievement is my financial investment goal for the first half of the year. Last year, I couldn't even meet the first half goal at the end of the year. But this year I completed it before the time I set for my goal.
Another thing I promised myself this year was to attend my half-sister's signing out, even though I feel allergic to things like that, but thankfully, my cousin made it possible for me. The picture above is me, my cousin, and the newest graduate in the family who had her sign out today 馃き.
So far this year has been great for me!
But it's not yet over.
Right now I am preparing for my second semester exams, and it's definitely harder than the first semester, but I have a goal of making sure, even if by one point, it is better than the last result, no going back.
And I have to reach my financial investment goal by the end of the year, too. And this time I am quite optimistic about them, unlike the previous year.
