PROGRESS IS A PROCESS

Welcome to 2026

Welcome back to WTNNTA,

(What’s there not to talk about?)

As I opened my notebook to a fresh page, the gentle scratching of my pen filled the air, and the crisp, untouched paper seemed to invite new possibilities. I took a moment to breathe deeply, embracing the quiet around me, before I began outlining my goals for 2025. Though some of these goals felt daunting amidst my schoolwork, my determination remained steadfast because I am eager to see how far I can push myself.

Reflecting on my journey, I appreciate the distance I’ve covered and how I’ve managed the small voices of doubt in my head, as well as the panic attacks and anxieties that have challenged me time and again.

There were moments when I felt stagnant and disheartened, until I recognized that comparison often steals away joy.

The fear of the unknown has been a significant hurdle for me. I often found myself worrying about outcomes, even when I performed admirably.

However, I have come to understand that life progresses in phases—sometimes we win, and sometimes we learn.

What’s truly vital is the audacity we carry within us. It reflects our ability to rise above our fears, focusing not on the results but on the journey itself. I am grateful for my current position in life: for the mistakes that have molded me, the successes that brought me joy, and the disappointments that taught me resilience.

As Salem King wisely said,

“Growth doesn’t happen in leaps; it happens in quiet increments — small decisions, small improvements that compound until your edge is undeniable.”

This serves as a reminder that perfection is not the aim; rather, it’s about striving for improvement and embracing my imperfections.

Keep in mind that your journey is uniquely yours.

Set goals ,

Live fully,

Laugh heartily,

Celebrate every little victory.

Remember, growth unfolds in phases for everyone, so be patient with your progress while remaining hungry for success.
