If there's anything I love about viewing the numerous episodes of the Heelers family from Bluey, an animated TV series, it gotta be their breathtaking family bond, love and understanding.
That's basically what the show orbits around anyway.
I happened to see a certain episode and while I wouldn't wish to drop in a review on what it was all about, it left me with a sentence that actually had me thinking deep and eventually led me to restructure my mindset and approach to my usual way of things. Especially the previous year.
Flowers may bloom again... but a person never has the chance to be young again.
Now is it just me or the year 2k25 seemed to have gone to an end within the twinkle of an eye?
I'm pretty sure I remember chanting a happy new year to my family, loved ones and frenemies into the year 2025 and currently I'm doing the same again. For 2026.
It almost feels like I literally closed my eyelids, opened them and whoosh.... 2026 in all its glory.
Don't get me wrong cause I'm anything but whining. I'm truly filled with immense gratitude to our creator who has kept both feet of mine standing on planet earth.
If I'm to be brutally honest, last year effortlessly earned the title of my most unfavorable year. Though it had its ups alongside the downs, my failure to acknowledge the goodies has it feeling like nothing good came out of the year for me.
I lived through the previous year in the most stringest way possible. Cutting off false friends and not bothering to hold onto the intimate ones I had, fighting tooth and nail to achieve this and that without patting myself in the back at the day of the day for a job weldone. But quick to slash myself when it all goes wrong...
I expected quite a lot and the burning desire to have them all placed right in my palms surged my already solitary lifestyle to a higher mode.
Not to mention the fact that I tend to wave off a good number of things which everyone else comfortably does tagging them as childish or just irrelevant for the love of my life. While deep down, I know very well that such doings are a great deal to the essence of life.
Talk about the little celebrations, gabfest and hearty moments I excluded myself from, not because I had to see to a task nor wasn't invited or aware. I simply just didn't... And I'm realising I placed restrictions on myself aimed at the accomplishment of absolutely nothing.
But things are about to shift now. I didn't have to slip it into my new year resolution to know I had to make for a change and grant myself the right to smile and laugh to my heart content, take a front seat in those irrelevant activities and be a star at them.
To make memories not excuses, dance like nobody's watching, sing like nobody's listening and not just exist but to live and moreso like it's heaven on earth. I've chosen to live life to its fullest not at the expense of my goals and ambitions but an undiluted boost to growth, joy and life.
Images are mine.
