Chile.. Where have you been hiding?

It’s probably best I try to address the elephant in the room…3ish years later and she shows up with no explanation as to where she’s been? Does she think we’ve forgotten? Is she back for good? I am She. All these questions I should probably answer but what if one doesn’t know where to begin, what to say or what’s even happened the past few years, because it’s all been a whirlwind? Where do we go from here?

Deciding to return to the blogging life in 2026 hasn’t been the easiest decision for a multitude of reasons, but it’s certainly a decision I hope I’ll thank myself for later down the line. For me, blogging has always felt like a safe space to express my thoughts and feelings on different topics with no judgement (not out loud anyway!)

Having looked at my drafts, there were several times I attempted to make a comeback but I guess another one bites the dust. However, this year I’m aiming to go back to doing all the things I used to enjoy.

With that being said, it’s probably time I reveal my thoughts on 2025 and how the year went for me. 2025 probably had the biggest impact on me, mentally and emotionally, since I turned 21. For the whole of December and the first week or so of January, I was in Zim (Zimbabwe) where I spent time with family and friends, laughed a lot, danced a lot but also realised a lot about myself and the life I want to live. A very unexpected ending for me in 2025 which had my emotions here, there and everywhere. However, it was an ending I embraced and some may say, welcomed with open arms. I entered 2026 with the mindset ”Live for yourself – no one else but yourself.” A saying we’ve heard time and time again but how many of us have put this into practise?

The optimist in me screams this will be an amazing year and I’m ready for it. By God’s grace, I’ll have a few more goals ticked off because this year we’re locking in. Say it with me – WE ARE LOCKED IN THIS YEAR, NO IFS OR BUTS, WE’RE GETTING THINGS DONE!

Speak soon.. Sooner than you think!
