2024 in a wrap —And so it goes

2024. The year I spent time with myself.

I was going to start this writeup with — “this year I cried a lot” but I’ve cry a lot many other years. I think I’d say , this year I cried to GOD more than I’ve did in the past.

I cried to songs, I cried to Bible verses , I cried in prayer and I cried in acceptance. Why ? Because this year, I found out that the only entity that has my back 100% in this world is God.

This year I also did — I turned my thoughts into actions , I did the hard things, and I showed up for myself. That however would have never been possible if I hadn’t done intentional work in the past years even at very small scales.

Pursuing God

The level I got with God this year is astounding because, 2024 wasn’t even close my most draining year emotionally. My communication with him involved greatly because I was intentional about putting him at the forefront of my life. It’s true that there was a period that I almost let humans take that space, but overall ? I think I’m very satisfied with how much communication and fellowship I had with him.

Showing Up

If there was ever a year that I acted most in my personal interest in a healthy way — it would be this year. I pulled up , showed up , did the hard things e.g guys I networked. Can you imagine ? I literally walked up to people , privates messaged them and introduced myself. One of these networking connections exposed me to an amazing accelerator program that has so much potential. If I hadn’t networked I don’t think I’d ever had known about that opportunity.

Workings

• I started my upcycled fashion brand again
• - I got my first artist interview.
• - I got into two accelerator programs because of my brand .
• - I got shortlisted for an international art gallery exhibition.
• - I pulled my weight.
• - I published my first non-fiction.
• - I started investing again quite a bit.
• - I progressed so much in my art and design process.

Conclusion

I pulled my weight this year. I was more assertive, more introspective, more in sync with my inner self & child , more in-tune & accepting of God’s direction, more forgiving, more positive , and more driven.

This year I was so in-touch with myself that sometimes I couldn’t believe that all the work I had done over the years were finally paying off.

This year is the year I embraced just “being”, “trusting the process” and “believing in myself” so much so that, I kept 0n going even after every breakdown I experienced.

This year I won — this year I grew — this year I experienced “being” — this year I took space.

I’m wrapping this article as fast as I wrapped up negative thoughts this year and I’m super excited for what’s to come in 2025.

Till next year,

Love,

E 💕.
