A mosaic of highs and lows now only seen as lessons learned. People putting up their yearly recaps, Reminiscing those highlights for the last, The fragments of joys, sorrows and more importantly memories can be witnessed through those reels. It is the dawning of a new chapter, Endings whispering of what’s to come. A blank page, a canvas to be filled to be painted,  As we embark upon the voyage of 2025. Jotting down year resolutions, Promises that are made, ready to be fulfilled. Anticipating that ‘25 will be our defining year,  As we think of from what was to what could be. We ponder about how 2025 will be for us, Only hoping for it to be kind. In the tapestry of time, a future ...
