My December Tradition Is Borderline Toxic (But Hear Me Out)

Alright, ladies and gents!

Just a few days left for the year to end, and I'm not sure how I feel about it! Am I the only one?

2025 was the Mercury Retrograde year. It was meant to be tough, chaotic, full of hard times and other blah blah. I don't care what astrologers said, but 2025 was the year of my dreams. It was clearly the year of manifestation. Turns out, when you stop paying attention to astrology mumbo-jumbo, you stop manifesting fear and start concentrating harder on what you actually want.

One of my biggest takeaways from personal growth this year: 

"When someone shows you their character, don't stoop down to their level to explain yourself!" 

Leave them in silence and dignity. You don't need to have the last word to explain your truth. Let them wonder, get discomfort, and second guess their behaviour.

I ate well, travelled marvellously, partied occasionally, and showed love empathetically. I tried opening up to new patterns, tasted something outside my palate. And I can confidently say, when elders tell you try outside your style, you must follow it because there is potential. Sometimes you don't know what you're missing until you have a first-hand experience. And I just had to try. After all, I am a neophile!

However, December is yet to be over, and I love making intentional mistakes or as I say planned goof ups that I can bear and laugh on later in the new year. Hence, as a part of my planned chaos, I left a riveting message to one of my exes, poked an old flame by dropping a toxic comment on his bare chested Instagram selfie, finally dropped a message to an ex-friend that I forgive her, wrote letters to a few of my girls, tried dating outside my type, and got myself indebted financially. (Well, one or two are still in the process and will be done before the year ends.)

I know these very decent ones, but I am not out of my mind to share the wild ones!

And no, this isn't self-sabotage. It's just called adding a little topping of drama, something that you can deal with without embarrassment. You can't stop flirting with life just because you have become an adult, isn't it? It's the most dangerous kind of freedom there is!

And about the fact spitting lessons, well, I have still got them in my pocket. They aren't going anywhere. But I highly recommend you to take me with a pinch of salt because I am high on the amazing year I have had. Plus, December has a way of making me irrational (in a good way, that is!) about endings, especially the ones that no longer make sense any more.

But tell me, do you have any crazy year-end traditions like I do? Share them with me. What if I decide to pick something up your style! And you are welcomed to pick from mine!

See you next year. Until then, miss me

XOXO

I know you Love me!
