I am literally lost for words as I write this because this year had been a lot and nothing at the same time. The highs peaked and the lows almost brought me to my knees, still, a year is a year and we continue to thank God for it all.

At the beginning of every year, I write a list of goals and make a vision board but I want to try something different for 2025. Instead of 25 things for 2025, I am doing 500 things for 2025. 500 moments, experiences, lives lived. I find 25 very limiting and as much as I always try to make SMART goals, I think my time will be better served completing 500 small and random tasks and each will count as a win.

Why 500? 300 looked awkward, anything below that seemed limiting and every about 500 seemed excessive.

Always, I am thankful for the people that always show up for me on this blog despite my unexplained haitus. So, 500 things for 2025 below:

Travel

I have recently found out I do not have the full traveller spirit in me but I enjoy the experience of new things, peoples and cultures. Like the recent trip I took with my boyfriend and his family, a solid 10/10. I would go into much detail but my mother reads this blog.

Anyways, I have come to the realization that I have not seen much of Blantyre, much less Malawi and this country is my travel bucket list for the year. From conspicious lodges in different parts of this country to its high end hotels, I will be seeing and doing it all, best believe.

Yes, I have been to the Thyolo tea estates but I have never been to Makoli, or the stables or Huntingtons. All places I plan on visiting this coming year. Am I venturing into travel blogging? Big NO.

I had never been to Cape Maclear until December 2024. Same goes for a boat ride, eagle spotting, boat tours. Hell, I had never even seen so many boats in one place. That experience taught me that I am missing out on a lot of things I would love and enjoy.

2025 better buckle up, because I am barrelling through!

Personal Growth

Growth looks very different to everyone, and for me, the definition evolves every year and changes seasonally. This time, I just need to feel more free, more in control of my life and my well being.

Gosh, I love being me but there is so much room for improvement.

I used to sprint but I have not in a while. I actually won medals for it but I do not think my legs could take it now. I thought about it and I am willing to put in the effort to at least try and run a marathon.

Never been much for TED talks but I will not shoot something I have not tried. I want to make that money as I grow hence launching an online course (which will possibly be free) and working intently on being consistent with my passive income.

End of part one:

Catch my instagram for more parts as they come!

Truly, I love you all for your support and all the love you show me. Happiest end of 2024 and beginning of 2025!
xoxo,

The lady with the wildest dream.
