Going through every year is like repeating a cycle, although the events might be different, having an impact that varies, but the emotional resonance is quite familiar. It's a clear fact that each year brings new experiences, events, and challenges that will definitely put us through a rollercoaster of emotions, but they aren't new to us, even though the depth of these feelings might differ.
Last year, getting married might have been what made you happy the most, but this year, it could be having a baby or bringing one of your long-time dreams to reality. These are definitely unforgettable experiences, but we must never forget that life can't always be perfect. There will always be the bad moments in every cycle, and these events just happen unexpectedly, proving that life is really unpredictable.
I had lots of experience in 2024, so many that I can't forget easily because of their impacts on my life. Unfortunately, there were the bad experiences too, which I didn't pray or wish for. They just happen to remind me that life can't be perfect no matter how much I try. After all, life is all about good and bad—the most important thing is creating a balance with our emotions when life happens.
One of my very unforgettable moments in 2024 happened at the beginning of the year, and it was something I had always looked forward to after making up my mind to spend the rest of my life with Princess Dara. I met her at one of the terrible stages in my life, and surprisingly, she chose to settle with a guy like me.
It took a long time before I was able to get my life back on track, and she was there for me all through, so tying the knot with her was a dream for me. It finally happened, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best moments of my life and not just in the year 2024.
Everything was going smoothly until mid-2024 when new challenges came up. They were completely unexpected, and it was a tough time for us because we were affected mentally and emotionally, and our finances weren't exempted. I became deeply worried but at a point I had to put my worries away because the situation was just beyond us as a couple.
I just decided to commit everything to God's hands, and he did the usual. Our challenge disappeared overnight, and he gave us a testimony, something we thought wouldn't happen any time soon.
While still celebrating God's faithfulness, I fell ill in October. It happened so fast that I became scared that I might just pass away in the twinkle of an eye. I could barely move around, my weight dropped drastically, and it was really troubling. My family became scared despite the doctor's assurance that I would be fine, and it's very understandable. I was under medication all through October till early December, and it affected me in numerous ways.
Up to this moment, my body still hurts from my encounters with needles, and if I am not exaggerating, the drugs I took in the last three months surpass all I took in my entire life.
Regardless of everything that happened, I am grateful for life. I am happy to be around, and it's okay to say 2024 is a great one. Yes, I know a lot of things I didn't foresee happened but it doesn't take away the fact that great things also happened during the journey.
There are so many things I didn't share, and that would be stories for another day because I intend to make another post when the time is right.

Life, life, life.
There are indeed twists and turns. Thankfully, you scaled through it all.
Don't worry, you are winning🙏
Yeah, Life is indeed unpredictable and that is why we must keep going with our heads high.
We will always scale through with God on our side.
Na so o
Life is unpredictable an good and bad things happen and we can't control it. We need to accept the reality. So many things happened with you in this year but I hope new year will be very good for you.
Thanks buddy, I believe that the coming year will favor us more than our expectations and regardless of the unexpected event or challenges, we will always be happy.
Cheers mate 🤗.
Wait, you two got married already? I think I missed it hehe
Merry Christmas George and Happy New Year to you and your family ☺️
Yes, mama. I am sorry you didn't get to see the post I mentioned about it. Compliment of the season to you as well, I wish you a beautiful 2025. 🤗
It's always the good and the bad but somehow, we still thank God for everything because He alone knows the reason for everything.
Glad you're better from that illness, you two continue to be strong for each other 😊
Even the Bible says that we will experience challenges in the world but we should be happy because he has overcome those challenges for us. I know these things will happen at some point but God always gives us reasons to be happy.
Glad you have that portion of the Bible in mind, you will do great with God on your side.
A lot has happened in our lives but the most important thing is that God was there all through and that's a huge testimony for us. 2024 is a year you cannot forget like that especially when you tied the knot with the love of your life.
Definitely, I can't forget so many things and tying the knot with my woman is definitely one of the biggest highlights this year.
2025 has a lot in store for us and we will have bigger testimonies than we did this year.
Wow... @george-dee. This is indeed a heartfelt reflection of your year. Life truly comes with its twists and turns for real, but the grace to go through all of it is a gift in itself. Your journey with Princess Dara is inspiring, and it’s beautiful how you both held onto each other during such trying times.
