📅 In Words: December is a shade of red. It’s been hectic, eventful, and changed my perspective on the year as a whole, with a lot of self-reflection, sometimes even forced.
The days literally passed by in a blur, which I think is visible from me going straight from wrapping up November to December, but that’s what the days felt like. No breaks, no sleep, back to back events, exams, presentations, projects, it was all so crazy. But I feel like surviving the month helped me tap into a sense of serenity and calmness I had no idea I possessed.
Maybe it’s the workaholic in me, but December kept me working overtime so bad that I don’t know how to stop now. And it’s one of the best feelings ever. I’ve been coding non-stop since the semester ended, learning things I promised myself I would after years; and with every day that I manage to stay consistent, the satisfaction in itself feels like a reward.
New year’s resolutions are something I fully believe in, and while I wanted to do other things, I want to keep going easy on myself, take care of myself, and read more. A lot more. I’ve been eyeing non-fiction to learn about different philosophies for a while, and I can’t wait to get started on that in January.
I’m not jinxing the whole year, so I’m going to start small: I hope the coming month is better than the last.
