Adoring downcast to have a little glimpse on the last pages of my 2023 personal diary and as I shut the chronicle, I looked back at some of the dates, memories, and incidents as I am someone who always keeps key dates in mind. Alas! The New Year is just around the corner and the countdown has started.  For some, it’s party time, travelling time. Desist tones and chords, business aside, partying aside some time whilst I recap how 2023 was for me.  

In our midst of the dashing 2023 the year not everyone lived the way they wanted to. Some did, others didn’t.  Most of the time, you ended up doing things you never wanted to and things ended up like, you never wanted them to. But it’s not that, always you rue those things happening to you. You did enjoy it, at least once! I don’t keep resolutions but I am certain that as I move on I will persist in doing what I love, prod and poke, find the leak, and seal it. When I want to vocalise up my insight I will with no turning back. Although years pass by there are many who are yet to wake up from their cocoon.  For me, it’s just going with the flow, scouting and utter.

A year of mixed vehemence with ups and downs. Things don’t always end up the way you want them to but I’m happy my year 2023 ends here on a positive note and we welcome the 2024 drill on for the next 365 days and here we set off.
