DEAR READER,

The end of the year relish.

My name is Adetutu Trisha, I bet you know this but just a quick reminder. It is the last day of the year and I’m in awe at what an amazing year we had together. It could have been less perfect but to know you became a part of my journey this year, nothing supersedes that.

It was one hell of a year with me being transparent and letting you know all of my weaknesses for you to be stronger, not to pity me. Every single thing that happened this year is all I am grateful for.

I started this year with a lot of skepticism but here I am at the end of the year, bigger, and better than who I was at the beginning with more than half of my drafted goals attained.

I know it might not have been the most beautiful year for you because of the bad moments here and there but isn’t that what reminds us that we are humans? Our little moments of meltdown. Look at you, Ending the year with an enormous amount of happiness you didn’t think you will attain at the beginning of the year.

It felt like two days back when you started the year, a clean page with major obstacles ahead. You've surpassed all the obstacles to be standing where you are today and the secret to this was the moment you chose to expand your heart in love rather than fear.

While thinking about my year, it felt like I lost a lot and maybe gained a lot too. 

Just at the nick of the year-end, I lost a bond I thought I might have forever. I must admit that I didn’t read my piece that says, “forever is an illusion”. Love will never be enough for two people to stay together no matter how hard you both try.

He made mistakes, mistakes I thought “sorry” could fix and this was my own mistake. I thought forgiveness was acting like you weren’t hurt and trying to preserve what you both share. Forgiveness wasn’t just that. Knowing when to let go is also forgiveness. 

Our mistakes caught up with us and led to the crash of everything we built together. It hurts than how I simply put it. Time heals everything so I will leave Time to do its thing while focusing on life without this person.

I made a good number of friends this year and also, I’m proud of every piece of work I poured my heart into and I put out there. I’m becoming a better writer and an even more expressive one at that. 

I can’t count my friends less when counting all the blessings I got this year. Then I met you. You are everything, you are everywhere, you are the untold story of perfection about to unfold.

My 2022 goals are set and I am unsure of how I intend to achieve it all but my goal-getter spirit won’t let me down now.

I don’t know what the new year would bring for us and neither would I wish us a smooth sail. Marie hall said, “Life is never going to be smooth sailing, but we should learn to roll with the punches” I would say roll with the tides and waves.  

Surrender to the perception of who you think you should be and embrace the light of who you already are. You are a gift. You are the sweetness of each heartbeat and the comfort in each breath. Express your utmost gratitude for simply existing.

The universe placed you here for a reason, don't lose yourself by questioning or comparing who you are. Don’t be scared to be who you are, your fears will not define your fate. And even on your darkest days, you will always be enough. You will heal. And in this life, you will find yourself again and again because you are you.

On this note, to a not perfect but beautiful 2022, to a year with us doing better with ourselves and for ourselves. 

To Twenty-Twenty Two, the chapter of vision accomplishment and major transformations, the chapter of holding yourself and selfish self upgrade. 

To a year with sending more newsletters(twice a month) and to a year with honey and milk staged with limes and lemons. I hope you have a beautiful end of the year.

I would be crossing over on my bed, what about you?

See you in 2022.

Yours,

ADETUTU❤️
