Dear 2025
Dear 2025, You were a good year. Our time together is almost over now. As we start to part ways, I find myself feeling grateful for everything we shared. We had some really good moments together. So much happened that I can’t even keep it all straight in my head right now, but let’s try to reminisce.

The Moment I Realized I was Done Pleasing Everyone but Myself
For most of my life, I didn’t realize I was living for other people. I thought I was being kind. Thought I was being flexible. Thought I was being “easygoing” and mature. What I was really doing was shrinking myself, quietly, consistently, and convincingly, until I could barely hear my own voice.

The New Year That Finally Spoke Back. AI-Generated.
On the last night of the year, Ahmed stood on the balcony of his small apartment in Sharjah, watching fireworks bloom faintly in the distance. They looked beautiful, but distant—like happiness often did. He held his phone in his hand, scrolling through messages that all sounded the same: New year, new me. This year will be different. Manifesting success.

2026 Is Not the End — It’s the Turning Point
The first thing I felt when 2026 arrived wasn’t excitement. It was panic. I was sitting alone in my car, engine off, hands resting on the steering wheel, staring at the dashboard clock as the date changed. January 1st. A new year. Another reminder that time was moving forward—and I felt like I was standing still.

A New Year Is Not What Changes the Calendar — A New Year Is What Changes You
The clock struck midnight, fireworks cracked the sky, and everyone around me cheered. I didn’t. I sat on the edge of my bed, phone glowing in my hand, watching people post “New year, new me!” like it was a magic spell. My chest felt heavy. Not because the year was ending—but because I was scared nothing inside me was changing.

Why We Love People Who Hurt Us
Maya's phone lit up at 2:47 a.m. with a text from Daniel: "I miss you. I'm sorry. Can we talk?" She should have deleted it. Should have blocked his number months ago. Should have learned after the third time he'd disappeared without explanation, only to return with apologies and promises. Instead, her heart leaped. Relief flooded through her. He came back. He still wants me. By 3:15 a.m., she'd responded. By morning, they'd be back together. Again. And Maya would tell herself this time would be different, even though some part of her—some quiet, exhausted part she kept trying to silence—knew it wouldn't be. Daniel would be loving for a week, maybe two. Attentive, affectionate, everything Maya had been craving. Then slowly, he'd start pulling away. Texts would go unanswered. Plans would be canceled. He'd become cold, distant, critical of small things. Maya would panic. Try harder. Become smaller, more agreeable, desperate to bring back the version of Daniel who'd made her feel so wanted. She'd apologize for things that weren't her fault. Change herself to accommodate his shifting moods. Walk on eggshells trying not to trigger his withdrawal. And eventually, he'd leave again. Ghost her for weeks. Then return with another 2 a.m. text. And the cycle would repeat. Maya's friends couldn't understand it. "Why do you keep going back to him? He treats you terribly. You deserve better." Maya knew they were right. She knew Daniel was hurting her. Knew the relationship was toxic. Knew she should walk away and never look back. But she couldn't. Because as much as Daniel hurt her, she loved him. Desperately, painfully, irrationally loved him. And she had no idea why she couldn't stop.

Cherish Your Blessings: Embracing a Purposeful and Peaceful Life
Life is one of the greatest blessings we are given, yet many people spend it feeling exhausted, unvalued, and emotionally drained. Not because life itself is cruel — but because of who and what we allow into it. In the pursuit of acceptance, love, or validation, we often give access to people who slowly poison our peace. Over time, we begin to feel lost, disconnected from our purpose, and distant from our true self.
