“Some choices scare you… some choices save you. This year, I chose me.”

Namaste my #indiaunited friends how is your week going? Hope all good.
Welcome to my blog once again and am about to let you know how my year has treated me so far🤔

2025????🤦🤦🤦🤦 Hmmmmmmm!!!!

This year has felt like one long conversation between me and life and honestly speaking life has been dragging me like generator starter rope. From the very beginning, it came with its full chest, teaching me lessons I didn’t ask for and revealing truths I didn’t even know I needed, I have laughed, cried, over thought and stared at my my reflection asking those kind of questions that don't always have answers.
But somehow, I’m still standing,maybe a bit confused, maybe a bit wiser, but definitely stronger and more self-aware than I was when the year started.

If I’m being honest, this year has humbled me in many beautiful and painful ways. It made me pause and look closely at the path I was on, the choices I was making, and the life I was building. There were moments when I sat down and asked myself, “Is this really what I want?” And for the first time in a long while, I actually listened to the answer. That’s how I found the courage or maybe the stubbornness to stop my job and go learn a skill. Yes, me. The same me that once believed the only road to success was a long CV and endless office stress. Life said, “Shift,” and yes I shifted with my full chest!!!

Was it easy? Absolutely not. My mind nearly fainted when I took that step. All the “what ifs” came rushing down,What if I fail? What if people laugh? What if I regret it? But something inside me whispered “What if you finally get to build the life you actually want?” And honestly, that small whisper has carried me far.

This year has also taught me to laugh at myself deeply, loudly, and sometimes with small tears. Because if I don’t laugh, I might just cry out of confusion. I have learned that adulthood is 60% pretending you know what you’re doing, 30% adjusting plans you didn’t even plan properly, and 10% sudden courage that comes from nowhere. And through it all, I have realized that growth is not always inspirational; sometimes it’s messy, awkward, and funny in a very painful way.

But then growth is growth.🤷

I have also spent a lot of time reflecting,thinking about who I’m becoming, what I’m healing from, and where I want to go next. And even though everything is not perfect and still not really in place I am still proud of how far I have gone, I am proud of myself,Proud of the risks I took, Proud of the steps I made, Proud of the moments I chose myself even when it scared me. Proud that I walked away from something so familiar to chase something meaningful.

So how is 2025 so far?🤔

It has been a mixture: little chaotic, little emotional, little hilarious, little unpredictable, little sad, but deeply transformative. This year stretched me, reshaped me, and pushed me toward a version of myself I am finally beginning to respect and understand. And as I look at the remaining month ahead, I smile because I’m not the same person who walked into January. I’m becoming someone braver, someone more intentional, someone who knows that choosing a new path is not failure it’s actually freedom.someone who is so close to finding her happiness.

If this year was a person, I would hug him/her and hiss at the same time. But in all that happened I am grateful🙏 Because somehow, in all the confusion and courage, I am finding myself.
