‘Roaring
start
to
the
New

all
things
I
love
—
the
forest,
the

Tisca
Chopra
recaps
2024:
‘The
greatest
gratitude
to
have
my
family
and
friends
around
..
And
it
has
also
been
a
year
of
BIG
lessons
..
am
learning
to
walk
coolly
away
from
dramas
and
seek
peace,
to
say
what
needs
saying
without
causing
hurt
and
finally
and
most
importantly,
that
I
truly
am
the
master
of
my
fate
..
that
fate
is
in
my
disciplined
actions.

‘2025
I
look
to
you
with
joy,
hope
and
creativity
and
the
many
stories
that
will
surely
emerge
..
thanks
in
advance
for
all
you
bring
For
all
of
you,
I
wish
the
willpower
to
achieve
your
dreams
with
ease
AND
every
ounce
of
strength
and
courage
to
say
no
to
what
you
don’t
want
any
more
..
Much
love.’

Tinaa
Dattaa
writes
a
letter
to
2024:
‘Dear
2024,
You
weren’t
gentle,
but
you
were
necessary.
You
taught
me
strength
I
didn’t
know
i
had,
Wisdom
i
didn’t
know
i
needed,
And
priorities
i
didn’t
know
mattered..
.
It
feels
like
the
general
theme
of
2024
was
that
it
was
far
from
many
people’s
favourite
year.
For
me,
it
wasn’t
easy
—
but
it
was
essential
and
necessary..
it
forced
me
to
take
a
hard
look
at
my
life,
stripping
away
everything
that
no
longer
served
me
and
leaving
behind
what
truly
matters.
In
the
process,
I
learned
to
release
the
thing’s
i
have
been
clinging
on
to
,
out
of
habit,
fear
or
merely
comfort.
And
i
was
reminded
of
the
importance
of
aligning
my
life
with
my
values,
my
purpose
and
my
peace.

‘The
truth
is,
sometimes
the
hardest
years
are
more
transformative..
They
push
us
in
ways
we
never
expected,
breaking
us
open
so
that
we
can
grow
in
new
directions
that
align
with
our
higher
selves.
They
teach
us
resilience
by
forcing
us
to
face
challenges
HEAD-ON
….
They
show
us
clarity
by
removing
distractions..
and
most
importantly,
they
remind
us
that
growth
isn’t
always
glamorously
Glam
~
it;s
often
messy
,
uncomfortable
and
filled
with
uncertainty.

‘2024
may
not
have
been
easy,
but
it
was
a
year
of
immense
growth
for
me..
It
reminded
me
to
prioritise
the
things
that
truly
deeply
matters-
my
relationships,
my
well
being,
and
the
pursuit
of
a
life
filled
with
purpose
and
authenticity..
While
i
couldn’t
call
it
my
fav
year,
I
am
deeply
grateful
for
what
it
taught
me..
The
best
thing
i
learned
this
year
was
how
to
embrace
my
life
,
even
in
the
middle
of
the
strom..Problems
will
always
exist,
but
joy
can
,
too.

‘So
if
2024
felt
heavy
for
you
too,
those
difficult,
uncomfortable
years
are
often
the
ones
that
shape
us
into
who
we
are
meant
to
be.
They
clear
the
way
for
something
better.
Hold
onto
the
lessons
,
trust
in
the
process,
and
remember
that
transformation
doesn’t
happen
in
comfort
zones
–
it
happens
in
the
mess
,
in
the
struggle
,
and
the
release..
Here’s
to
welcoming
the
light
that
comes
after
the
storm.
Looking
forward
to
a
great
2025.
And
on
that
note
goodbye,
2024…
Just
find
a
reason
to
smile
,
to
laugh,and
to
keep
going
on
#happynewyear.’
