Bye 2022

Hi December 2022! Finally, we meet.

I was very excited and curious too what the lessons that i can learn in the last of this amazing year. Also we never know what kind of surprise from God in 2022. :)

If you've enjoyed good health this year, that's a gift from God.

If you've met amazing people, that's a blessing from God.

If you've been able to sleep well, eat whatever you want, and do things you love, those are gifts from God.

Let's count the good people you've met this year. Perhaps a stranger who helped you in a time of need, a Grab or Uber driver who lifted your spirits with kind words, a new friend who truly cares, or maybe even someone who loves you.

I'm sure God has sent many good people your way this year. You are truly blessed.

And I'm sure you've enjoyed delicious food since January 2022, right? McDonald's, sushi, noodles, ice cream. Let's see how many people haven't been able to enjoy these treats due to their health. You are super lucky!

I know 2022 might have been tough for some people, maybe even for me. But I won't dwell on that.

If you've lost someone, failed an exam, or didn't get a promotion, don't focus on the negatives. Focus on the good things that have happened. Keep waiting, keep doing your best, and keep focusing on the positive, as I mentioned before.

Maybe you planned to buy a car this year because your friends did. You planned to get a new phone or something else! But look at you now, reading my article in a comfy t-shirt, or perhaps enjoying a good meal while reading. That's something to appreciate. Not everyone has these comforts. And if you're determined to chase your dreams, like that car or anything else you desire, I believe you'll get there someday!

Now, let's talk about the lessons I've learned since January 2022.

I'll be honest here. I've made mistakes, overthought things, been too much of a perfectionist, pushed myself too hard, and realized I often keep my distance from people, which can make them think I'm arrogant, though that's never my intention. It's because of my trust issues.

I shouldn't be like that. How can I write so much about positivity when I have trust issues? I should believe that not everyone intends harm. That's my lesson for 2022, and I aim to improve. I hope you'll do the same in the coming year—or better yet, start now! You can always work on yourself, your mind, your heart.

To everyone who hurt me this year, I forgive you.

And I apologize if I've done something wrong to you this year, whether through my actions, thoughts, or words.

Cheers!! :)

I'M SO EXCITED FOR 2023!! And... I hope I'll be able to write more articles here.

Oh, and one more thing. I'm curious why so many people from other countries have visited my journal this year?! I got notifications—from Germany, Finland, the USA, and even from Makkah?! If you're not from Indonesia and you're reading this, thank you so much :) 

Thanks to everyone who visited my journal in 2022.

With love, D.
