Shelorina’s Corner

Year 2025 is peeking in the corner as I try to rewind 2024 in my head. Until now, I thought 2020 was a blip but as I go through my memory from January to December this year I think 2024 was a blip too for me.

I barely remember anything remarkable in my life that worth a celebration. This is probably because half of the year was spent with me being in a limbo state having to taking care a lot of thing for our relocation overseas in July.

Relocating to a new place is not new for me (and for my little family) but this time, we have stayed put in our home country for almost 10 years and only moving between cities (4 cities to be exact) hence navigating life in transition mode can feel a bit of unsettling. However I still have an enjoyable life as far as I could remember for the entire year.

Now, moving on to the things that I learned in 2024, I like to consider it as takeaways that I hope can help making my 2025 easier (and richer? I guess?). Let see if the list can help you too in anyway possible:

1. Communication is an important key to any kind of ship. A problem can blow out of propotion just because of the lack of communication. So be brave and speak your mind clearly. You can communicate your feelings or opinions and still be respective.

2. Being honest can sometimes bite you but in a long run it can save the other person’s life.

3. Not EVERYONE deserves your help. Also, not everyone wants your help. You can only help someone who want to help themselves.

4. Just because everyone wants to be rich and famous, doesn’t mean that you must have the same dream too. We can all dream differently and still be happy.

5. A fulfilling life most of the time only needs simple things.

6. A true friendship can defeat the ocean and the skies. There is no limit.

7. We can only attract what we let out. If we let out more bad energy, it will only be back to find you. So be in a good vibe, send out positive energy always.

8. Consistence and persistence are the best weapons to aim at your goal in anything.

9. Moving on silently is possible when you read something on social media that you probably don’t agree with. Arguing over a post is really a waste of time.

10. You can create the life that you desire and it all started in your mind.
