The calendar has turned its page, and here we are September. But before I let myself get too wrapped up in the “Ber months” vibe of Christmas songs, cooler evenings, and the quiet promise of New Year, I need to pause and look back at August.
August wasn’t easy. In fact, if life were a book, that chapter would be filled with scribbles, teardrops, and underlined words that scream “rough journey.”
There was that heartbroken moment when I read the result of our visa. That sting, that heavy feeling in my chest, as if all the plans, the dreams, and the hours of preparation came crashing down. For a second, I thought, “Is this the end?”But the truth is, it was just a hard redirection. The dream didn’t die. It only asked me to find another way, another strategy.
“Sometimes, when one door closes, it’s not a rejection, it’s a redirection.”
So, August taught me this: resilience is not just about standing tall; it’s about finding new ways to rise when the old ways don’t work.
My Thoughts as August Ends
I’m not lost. That’s the first thing I had to remind myself. I’m just… thinking. Planning. Searching for another path to reach the life I’ve always dreamed of.
Yes, debts still need paying. Tasks pile up every day, and sometimes, it feels like the world is one giant to-do list. And yes, there are nights when I question if I should keep going. But I always circle back to gratitude:
Grateful for work even on tough days because it still keeps the lights on.
Grateful for Elaiza because no matter the fights, doubts, and misunderstandings, we choose to love, we choose to stay, and together we grow.
Love is not about the absence of storms; it’s about holding hands even as the wind blows against you.
“The strongest relationships aren’t the ones without struggles. They’re the ones where both people refuse to give up.”
And Now Comes September…
September feels different. It’s not just another month, it’s a season of promise. The first of the “Ber months,” where suddenly everything reminds you that Christmas is near, that the New Year is around the corner, and that maybe, just maybe, new beginnings are waiting right on the other side.
I see September as an open road. It’s whispering to me:
What lies ahead may not be certain, but it’s worth walking toward.
The year is not over yet. There’s still room for miracles.
Life doesn’t stop because you had a setback. It continues and so must you.
I find myself looking at this month as an opportunity. To rethink strategies. To reapply. To keep the dream alive. But also to balance. Balance work, personal goals, and love. Because chasing the future means nothing if I lose myself in the process.
“Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create every day.”
Key Takeaways From August to September
Redirection, not rejection. Dreams delayed are not dreams denied.
Gratitude is fuel. Even in struggle, saying “thank you” reminds me that I still have more than enough to keep going.
Love is a choice. Every misunderstanding can either divide or strengthen a relationship choosing to stay is what makes it stronger.
Balance matters. Work, personal goals, and relationships all need space to breathe.
Hope is renewable. September reminds me that no matter how heavy the last month was, there’s always a fresh start waiting.
So, goodbye August. Thank you for the lessons, the tears, the challenges that shaped me. And hello, September. I don’t know what lies ahead, but I know this: I will walk through you with courage.
I will balance. I will plan. I will dream. I will love. And when December comes with its lights and January with its new beginnings, I’ll look back at this month and smile because September was the reminder I needed:
That the journey continues.
And so do I.
