"Some families are lucky enough to never experience a single tragedy. But then there are those families that seem to have tragedies waiting on the back burner. What can go wrong, goes wrong. And then gets worse."

Colleen Hoover, Verity

Dear 2024,

I hate you in ways words can never fully express. You were the worst year of my life. You took my father from me, and with him, you took everything. You were cruel beyond measure. You stole my happiness and left me with nothing but tears and pain.

You shattered me into pieces, leaving wounds that time may never heal. If only I could erase you—delete you from my life and my memory—but I can’t. You will always be there, a haunting chapter I wish I could forget.

I will never forgive you.

"Tears are like words that need to be written down, but sometimes they're too heavy and too complicated to ever find their way on paper." They burn behind your eyes, swelling from the weight of emotions that cannot be said, emotions that twist and bite your soul.

"You try to express them, release yourself from their embrace, but all you can do is cry, silently begging someone to understand what you can't even say out loud."

~Paulo Coelho

Dear 2025,

I won't ask you to be gentle, but please, be bearable.I have been through so much pain this year. And if there's one thing I learned from all these aches, it's that; pain and problems are inevitable. That, no matter how much I ask and yearn for the world to be gentle, it'll always be cruel and hurt me in one way or another. Because challenges and cruelty are part of us, humans, that we can't get rid of.

This year is a bumpy road. It felt like my journey was filled with tears, exhaustion, and unending grief. I failed many times this year. I cried, stumbled on my knees many times, and lost some people I love. But I somehow managed to get through. And I think that's what really matters—to have made it 'till here.

So, I'm slowly accepting the fact that this year will also be filled with pain. That my path will be filled with thorns, that life will throw a lot of challenges along the way, and I will grieve ceaselessly like a child losing its pet.

This year, I won't be asking for kindness anymore. But I pray, that all things will be less heavier and more bearable.

A day which lay sly and unseen

~Tess of the d'Ubervilles

Life is cruel. We want something different, something better. We try to make it so, but things often turn out far beyond our expectations or imagination. Life shows us, again and again, that living is not easy. It puts us through one test after another, and each new test feels harder than the last, making us think the previous one wasn’t as bad as it seemed.

Along the way, we lose many treasures in this one life, some of which are gone forever. We continue living without the people we never thought we could live without. We experience all the colors of life before death. Maybe death is easier, and those who left are now in a better place.
