2025… Here We Go

It's been a while…

 To be honest, 2024 was an abhorrent year for me filled with agony, misery& poverty, which I had never undergone in my life. It was almost like living a horrid nightmare, anxiously waiting for it to end.

Perhaps, I have forgotten many of its bitter moments, yet its noisy darkness still lingers.

At first, I lost my job due to the ruined economy and miserable state of our country. It was such a harsh term, however, I was deep knee into political movement news that I almost didn’t care. Then my parents abandoned me and I was left alone. As I was trying to get back on my feet again, I became seriously ill, and my friends, who always circled me like butterflies, forsaken me.

It was unbearably painful, and I couldn’t even move without devastating pain through my spine. At one of the most tragic times of my life, my siblings came through for me and took me under their wing. So, little by little, I fought the sickness and dragged myself out of the abyss.

 

What scared me the most wasn’t the illness, losing my job, or the fact that all my friends had turned on me at the worst moments of my life, but that I would lose hope.

When it was soul-crushing blackness, hope that a better day was possible was the only thing keeping me going. After a while, I regained my health, made new friends, and earned a little money doing odd jobs. And life still goes on.

I started a hobby for myself that gradually became serious and now I continue it professionally, hoping someday I could turn it into a real job. Hoping someday, I forget about the year 2024…

Understandingly, If I start writing about a million times-heard boring stuff, there is always a chance no one reading my materials, so I try not to go down that road, but I feel like costumes, cuisine, and traditions I’m about to unveil are worth reading about. If you think about it, humanity is a very diverse concept wrapped around the same nature, dancing around the same instinctive fire, but oddly enough its exposed face is as varied as the droplets in the ocean, unbelievably diverse.
