Hey folks, it’s honestly been a while since I ever posted a project. I wonder if any of you still remembers me, maybe a few will still hop on and catch a chat. Time flies fleetingly, 2026 is coming on, and the season when everybody’s busy writing yearly recap approached. This is the year I have transformed a lot, faced but also conquered a lot of challenges I never thought I would face, and becoming the person I would be proud of a few years ago. I couldn’t imagine this is Arrow, frankly!! I didn’t have the courage to say I’m on top of this world, as it’s always good to stay humble. I have also matured more after some periods, some experience that’s full of growth. I finally feel like…I’m really no longer a dependent kid, yet a person who can handle complex things and ‘fit in’ to social norms. I don’t know.. During the days I’m off Scratch, of course, since Scratch always feels like a second home to me, my brain often reminds me of my own scratch life - my creativity, my weird yet undoubtedly true thoughts, and my scratch friends for sure! But the thought I have to move on clicks on my mind even more. So I took a little step and little step, overcoming the limits I thought I couldn’t break. I built a stronger bonding with my irl friends, teachers, and parents - Sometimes they appreciate me, sometimes they blame me. And I’m becoming a fuller, fuller self..becoming more authentic than ever, to a point, compromised by reality. I guess this is something everybody would go through, but at this point, it hits hard to me. The old version of self doesn’t work anymore, and my soul is adopting to the new system… Do you understand what I mean? My experience comes with loads of tears and unrelenting courage. I keep doubting my abilities even though I seem to be working hard. I ruminate on negative conversations and spiral down. I faced so much self-criticism and my inner critic was as loud as the sirens. However, perhaps at the darkest moments, it’s where growth begins. It’s the moment my friends, my teachers learnt the another side of me - Very sensitive, very perfectionistic, very turbulent. Thankfully, they embrace me for the way I’m. I have vented to them so much this year (that’s why I vented less here). I’ve even cried to them directly to a point it fears them. Perhaps I’m the most crybaby-type student? Or it’s just my sensitivity unleashing in a weird way. Their solace, their belief still stays with me, still guiding my life - They are my strongest emotional support :) Whenever I faces doubt, whenever I feel down again…I remind myself of their words. The most heard phrase this year is be confident! I’m always a shy and introverted kid who doubts my ability, but carrying on this phrase, I have overcome so much obstacles my mind sets!! That’s how mindsets matter, so friends - Start from today, go explore the world more through your unique ways, don’t be afraid, you’ll find your podium. Who could believe a shy kid who has tried to escape eye contact dare to stand in front of the whole school and share her speech? I have tried public speaking for 3 times this year, from feeling incredibly nervous to now confident, now i could even have fun in the process, it’s a huge step. Proving that when you have faith in yourself, you could do anything that will make your future self proud!!! So friendssss, I know you all are amazing, incredible and unique individuals who got so much abilities to change for the better. All you gotta do is have faith and embrace the process, embrace all the uncertainty!! It’s a thrilling ride, but it’s also rewarding after all, hopefully 2025 is waving a goodbye, and 2026? It’s at the corner. What will it be? I don’t know, we all don’t know, but… we can choose to embrace growth and grab some fun in the ride. And keep being a better version of self for whatever life takes! The decision is at your hands. :) Lastly…I’m truly grateful that you’re reading my words till here and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours :) Love y’all <333 Arrow, signing out.. December 31 2025 will arrow come back again? that’ll always be a mystery..
