End of 2020.

 Back in 2020,we stepped into 2021 with hope in our eyes and plans to move forward to make it the best year. But sadly, none of us have made it 'coz of the pandemic, some stress, anxiety and emotional wear.

For me, 2021 was an year of combination of happy and sad, smile and tears, pain and gain. Every morning, I woke up to hearing a sad news.I lost my favourite people to COVID. And one day, I was shown covid symptoms and isolated. It was hard for me to pass. Spent many sleepless nights, fought many fears and silent battles, challenged by physical sickness, confused in choosing career, faced hardships in every move, some broken trusts I'm not ready to take, some promises turned to sorries.suffered and depressed so much physically and mentally.  Every step I took thrown stones on me. Every turn I took wished me failure but still I made it and moved even stronger than them.

Above all, I'm grateful for where this year brought me and what this year taught me. With God by my side, I survived the hardships that came my way, became stronger than before,moved one step up in career, changed few people thoughts from 'I'm waste to I'm worth ' with my writings and today I'm breathing, living, eating and surviving. Aren't these enough to be grateful for this year? All I can say you at the end is a lot may happen in a year, some things may come and some may go;problems, battles, stress, anxiety are common to all but the way you respond to them matters. Be thankful, grateful and satisfied for everything, everyone and everytime for in it lies the secret to a bountiful life despite the bondages. Have a cheerful new year ahead.
