Goodbye 2024: Wrapping Up the Year With Gratitude and Hope

I can’t believe we’re saying goodbye to 2024 already. This year has been such a mix of emotions —some great moments, some tough ones, and a lot of reflection in between. As a wife and a blogger. I wanted to share my thoughts as we close this chapter.

The Highs, The Lows, and Everything In Between

Life in marriage as a wife has been a beautiful journey of learning and growth. The struggle with relationships is real— the misunderstandings, the moments when silence feels heavy, and the times when we just don’t see eye to eye. But in those bittersweet memories, there’s so much love and strength.

I love my husband so much, even when things aren’t perfect. Marriage, for me, has been about holding on during the tough times and celebrating the little victories together. It’s about realizing that even in the imperfections, there’s beauty.

Missing Home

If there’s one thing that’s been on my heart all year, it’s how much I miss my hometown in Sabah. There’s just something so special about the place you grew up — the familiar smells, the sounds, the people. Sometimes, I find myself scrolling through old pictures or imagining what it’d feel like to wake up to the sound of the waves again.

2024 didn’t give me the chance to visit, but maybe 2025 will. I’m holding on to that hope tightly because, honestly, nothing compares to the feeling of being home.

Prayers and Dreams

This year, I’ve been quietly praying for something that my husband and I have both been longing for —a baby. It’s been a journey of patience, hope, and faith. Some days, it’s tough to stay positive, but I know deep down that everything happens in its own time.

To anyone else on a similar journey, know that you’re not alone. Let’s keep praying, hoping, and believing that our time will come. ❤️

My Blogging Journey

Blogging has always been my safe space — a place where I can share my thoughts, experiences, and passions. But this year, I’ll admit, there were moments when I felt like giving up. Balancing everything— life, responsibilities, and writing — sometimes feels overwhelming.

But here’s the thing: I don’t want to give up. Blogging has brought me so much joy, connected me with amazing people, and helped me grow in ways I never imagined. 

So, as we head into 2025, I’m making a promise to myself to keep going. To write even when it’s hard, to share even when I feel unsure, and to remember why I started in the first place.

What 2025 Looks Like for Me

• Reconnect with my roots. A visit to Sabah is definitely on my wishlist for next year.
• Keep the faith. I’ll continue to pray and hope for that beautiful addition to our family.
• Stay committed. Blogging isn’t just a hobby—it’s a part of who I am. I’m going to nurture it, just like any other dream I hold dear.

Thank You

If there’s one thing I’ve learned this year, it’s to never take the little things for granted. To my readers, my friends, and my family — thank you for being part of my 2024. Your support, prayers, and kind words mean more than I can ever express. 

Thank you for being part of my journey, for reading my ramblings, and for reminding me why I love what I do.

As we welcome 2025, let’s carry our hopes, dreams, and gratitude into the new year. Let’s make 2025 even better, shall we? Wishing you all love, laughter, and lots of reasons to smile in the year ahead!
