"2024, if given the chance, knowing what I know now, I would still choose the same experiences, over and over again."

Dear 2024,
Thank you for my rock bottom.
This year, I showed up, delivered, healed, rescued, and supported. Yet no one saw how broken I was. If someone had told me the story of 2024 back in January, I would have laughed. But here I am, standing in my truth: I am a healer because I was wounded first.
When I enrolled in the Heal the Inner Child course, I had no idea I was stepping into my own healing. Wounds I had never acknowledged—yes, never acknowledged—rose to the surface. It’s not that I didn’t know they existed; a part of me always did. But a much bigger part of me refused to let them define me. It’s commendable not to play the victim, but I learned the hard way that ignoring wounds is not the same as healing them.
This year, the bandages were ripped off. Pain, raw and unrelenting, had to be faced head-on. A pain score of 10/10. The wounds oozed, and I had no choice but to nurse them. A story for a book, indeed.
This year, I was gracefully broken. Like clay in the potter's hands, I was smashed, remolded, reshaped, and made whole again. I returned to my nature and found my way back to myself.
I had to unlearn.
I had to nurture.
I had to let go.
I had to forgive—myself more than anyone else.
I had to see me.
I had to prioritize me.
I had to show myself compassion.
I had to say no.
I had to isolate.
I had to be unavailable.
I had to be patient with myself.
I had to find me.
This year, the challenges took their final cycle. The lessons were learned. The bandages were removed, and healing became the only option. Tears dried up, and I found humor in my pain. Silence filled my days, and I made peace with my mountains. With every incline, I felt myself becoming.
To those who left my space: I wish you well. You came into my life, served your purpose, and I hope I served mine in yours. Until life allows our paths to cross again, keep shining.
To all the experiences I went through: Your necessity is appreciated. I have grown. If given the chance, knowing what I know now, I would still choose you, over and over again. You led me back to my true nature, and for that, I am grateful.
2024, you were not my best year. In fact, you will probably go down as the worst year of my life. Yet, in the same breath, you are the year I am most grateful for.
Gracefully broken, I step into 2025 ready to embrace the new version of myself. Exciting times lie ahead. I am here, ready to close this chapter and embrace the next—challenges, wins, losses, laughter, and tears. All of it.
Thank you, 2024.
