Reliving 2023 Memories To Create Sweeter Ones

I am loving the topics I've been writing on since this year started, giving me smiles as I write and making me feel happy, alive and more than anything, makes me feel excited about what this year have in store for my family, friends and I. I've shared my goals and plans for the year, appreciated all who were there with me through last year and now, I'm about to share some highlights or memories from last year that I am grateful for and would love to do even better this year.

I have the Hiveghana prompts to thank for this idea and so, I'll be more thorough with this post. To make memories is mostly not planned and to share memories is always done to help us feel grateful and excited to keep living. "If I could make these memories with these people, the times coming would be better", I always tell myself that.

And now, let's dive into some of the best memories of my 2023.

An outing to Crunchies with my sister.

We didn't plan this one at all, we had went to get some important documents done regarding a job I was applying for. Even though I didn't get the job to talk about today, I got to have a fun time with my sister at one of my favourite spot. We took pictures, bought snacks and chatted a lot as we await our orders. This happened in the first month of the year before we went on our busy goals.

Attended a sport event with my cousins.

Talk of going to a place at the right time and making memories where you didn't think you would. I had gone to visit my aunt and her kids and the next day happened to be a big day for them. I couldn't say no to some simple but memorable fun so we all got prepared and went there together. From one activity to another, with my cousins participating in everyone of them making me feel so proud to be with them on that day, I had so much fun to look back to today and smile.

My birthday celebration was lit.

I didn't want anything grand for my birthday, I just wanted to take some break from everything and have fun with my family and friends who were around. We went from a nice restaurant to a game house, ate a lot, had a parfait and played so hard until I felt tired but still excited. I got to have that sweet memory because of my family and friends who were with me and being happy for my day.

A youth camping away from home.

The one time I stayed out for more than a day or two, we spent four days at a camp with our church youth gathered for a lot of activities. From singing competitions, exercises, evangelism and to singing lots of praises, we had a lot of good memories in that camp. I also got to make new friends, learn about new knowledge and spent time with people who I wouldn't have been able to get close to without that camp. It was a four days of sweet memories for me.

A movie night to conclude the year.

I had never been to a cinema or any of sort, I just see my movies at home on my mobile or PC and very rarely on the TV but that day came different for me when I got invited to a movie night with my fellow youth at church. Even though the notice was short, I couldn't pass on such an opportunity to experience a cinema experience so I made sure to attend and the experience is one I'll remember for a long time. We had nice servings and a lot of chats seeing the movie "Breakthrough".

These are memories I wouldn't forget in a hurry from last year and I'm looking forward to making even sweeter one this year. For now, I am grateful for what I have to share and what I would have to share in time coming. To sweeter memories this year friends! ❤️

Happy New Year once again!
