What 2025 Taught Me
2025 was a year of revelation, release, and radical transformation. It stretched me, refined me, and reminded me exactly who I am and who I will never be again. These are the lessons that shaped me, elevated me, and prepared me for everything I’m stepping into next.
What I learned About Myself
This year reminded me that I am enough, fully, completely, and unapologetically.
I am strong, blessed, highly favored, spiritual, strategic, protected, and successful.
I learned that my spirit doesn’t bend for convenience, and my values don’t shift to make others comfortable. I stand on truth and integrity, even when it’s not easy, especially when it’s not easy.
2025 showed me the version of me I prayed to become. She’s here.
What I Learned About Relationships
Not every connection belongs to me, and that realization is freedom.
I learned to let people go instead of forcing what was never meant to fit.
I stopped ignoring the signs, the cycles, the patterns, and the energy.
I finally accepted:
When someone doesn’t like you, they show you.
When someone isn’t for you, their behaviour tells you.
When a relationship requires you to shrink, it’s not a relationship, it’s a trap.
From now on, I only choose connections that feel like blessings, not lessons.
My standards have increased, and I refuse to lower them for friends or family.
Reciprocity and loyalty are no longer a request; they are requirements.
What This Year Stripped Away
2025 demanded that I let go of anything that was dimming my light.
It stripped away:
People pleasing
Fake friends disguised as supporters
The fear that used to hold me back
My habit of making myself too available for people who never reciprocated
I learned that removing access is a form of self-respect. And I don’t regret a single locked door.
What This Year Prepared Me For
This year prepared me to step into the role I was always meant to hold:
Boss. Leader. Creator. CEO of my own life.
It aligned me with my purpose, my higher self, and my path.
It taught me to move unapologetically, confidently, and intentionally, without waiting for permission.
I am walking into my future with clarity and conviction.
What I’m Taking With Me Into 2026
As I enter 2026, I’m carrying:
Boundaries
Self-respect
Self-worth
The commitment to being the best version of myself, even if it makes me look like the villain in someone else’s story
I’m not here to play small. I’m here to grow.
What Surprised Me About Myself
Nothing shocked me more than how unbothered I became once I started releasing people.
The same people who called me an “ice queen” were the ones who created the cold.
Distance wasn’t punishment, it was peace.
Which Emotions Visited Me the Most
Anger showed up often, but not in a destructive way.
It became my teacher.
It taught me to communicate my feelings clearly, honestly, and directly, but only with the right people.
People who actually understand emotional intelligence.
People who are authentic.
People who listen to understand, not react.
Everyone else? I stopped wasting breath.
What I’m Proud Of
2025 taught me one undeniable truth: I am a bad ass bitch.
Not because I’m perfect, but because I chose myself every single time it counted.
Because I rebuilt myself without applause.
Because I stopped explaining myself to people who weren’t even qualified to hear me.
Because I protected my peace, my purpose, and my future.
And I’m proud of all of it.
