When I came across this question, I initially thought the things that would make this year a beautiful one for me would probably be getting myself a new laptop and a new phone. Those were the first things that came to my mind because they are items I’ve always wanted and would genuinely be happy to have right now. But then, when I thought deeply about it, I realized there’s something much bigger, something more meaningful, that could happen this year to make it one of the best years of my life and that one thing would be for us to somehow move into our own house again.
We were actually once living in our own house, and I remember how it felt to call that place our own. But when my parents separated, everything changed. That event marked the beginning of a new chapter for us, and it wasn’t exactly an easy one. We had to move from living in our own house to becoming tenants in someone else’s house. It was actually a huge adjustment, not just physically but emotionally as well. By February we would have been living in this apartment for three years now. While it’s not the same as having our own house, I’m still incredibly grateful. At least we are staying in a place that is decent and comfortable, and that’s something I don’t take for granted.
However, as much as I appreciate our current living situation, there’s no denying the fact that having your own house is a completely different feeling. I know how much it would mean to my mum to have that again. She has worked so hard for us, and seeing her in her own home, one where she doesn’t have to worry about rent or landlords, would be one of the happiest moments of my life. I can already imagine her joy, how she would be over the moon, smiling uncontrollably, probably even tearing up because of how much it would mean to her. It’s a dream I hold close to my heart, not just for me but for her as well.
I understand that making this dream a reality is not going to be easy. Buying or building a house takes a lot of financial resources, and right now, that may seem out of reach. But despite the challenges, I refuse to count us out. I believe in miracles, and I believe in the possibility of things working out in unexpected ways. After all, life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. As long as we keep working hard and remain hopeful, I don’t think it’s impossible.
More than anything, I want this year to be so good for my mum that she somehow gains the financial capacity to make this dream a reality. For me, It’s not just about us moving into a house—it’s about is being able to restore thag part of our lives that we lost and giving us a place where we can truly feel at home again. I can’t predict how or when it will happen, but I hold on to the hope that it will.

Buying a new laptop or phone is good, especially when there's a desperate need for it and not just to show off.
Living in a house that is yours brings unimaginable joy and peace of mind as you don't need to worry about an increase in rent and other related issues
It brings calmness and clear sight as one can fully focus on the next task oh his and or her bucket list.
Yoh!
