Reflecting on Change as the Year Ends

Writing something new has always been an exciting task for me, but doing it on the last night of the year makes it even more special.

Another year has passed—survived bravely, and many more lie ahead. It’s amazing to realize that those born in 2000 and 2001 are now adults, some even getting married! Wow, we’ve grown up, haven’t we? Since 2019, it feels like time has been speeding up, with one year blending into the next before we can fully process it.

What’s even more surprising is how the next generation, younger than the 2000s, seems to be moving even faster. These rascals are tying the knot before some of us! But when we compare ourselves to older generations, it’s clear they’ve witnessed far more changes than we ever have.

Let me explain. Back in their time, there wasn’t widespread access to proper TVs, mobile phones, or computers. They had more time but fewer resources, so they had to utilize their time and strength wisely to save money.

Today, we live in an entirely different era. We spend money to save time and effort. And in this shift, no one is at fault—it’s just how we’ve evolved. Generations have grown, adapting to what life demands of them.

Change is the necessity of life. As 2024 ends, we reflect on what’s left undone and look forward to what’s possible in 2025. May we embrace the changes that come and cherish the lives we’re building, step by step.

Here’s to growth, resilience, and the exciting journey ahead!
