The Ember Months: A Season of Plot Twists and Possibilities

From September to December, there’s always this rush; some people see it as the season of opportunities, while others see it as the season of reflection. For many, it’s the time to look back at the goals they set at the beginning of the year and ask themselves how far they’ve gone. For others, it’s a season of wrapping things up, celebrating what has been achieved, and preparing for the new year that’s just around the corner. For me, it is the time of the year for the biggest and amazing plot twist.

I won't lie, the year has not gone the way I wanted it, but if I am to cut my blessings and name them one by one, I have achieved so much in this year than I can imagine, yes, plans change, new opportunities came but there are some goals I really want to achieve this year that I haven't gotten.

We are not in the last quarter of the year, and this is the time to lock in extremely. The year went by so fast. I remember shouting "Happy New Year" some months ago, and now we are in September, in a blink of an eye, it will be 2026.

At the start of the new year, I had a plan to start a community, and I was able to do that with the help of @wongi and @kingsleyy. They are part of the blessing I had this year. I was also able to meet amazing people. I won't be mentioning names because the list would be too long, but one of the people I was happy to meet in flesh this year is @mandrelmykels. He is such an amazing person. Might probably take him to Pluto for vacation sometime.

I have been able to achieve a lot, but there are some goals I also set for myself which I haven't been able to achieve, and one of them was getting an HP of 5000, but like I said, the ember month is the month of plot twists. I might have 2000HP now, and in 2weeks, I would have 10,000HP. In as much there is life, then anything is possible.

Also, this year I had the intention of having $2million in my savings. Still, I haven't been able to get that too, it's sad because I can imagine seeing that amount in my account. One of the best things about the ember month is that it always makes the impossible possible; this is the month to raise the expectation and work harder. Lock in fam.

There is a lot I am looking forward to in this last quarter of the year. All my remaining goals that are yet to be achieved, I will not move them to next year; I will get them this year, even if I have to sell part of the moon to someone. No time to quit, life can go from 0 to 100 real quick, so we are still grinding and we're gonna make it.

As the ember months unfold, one thing is clear: this season is not just about winding down the year, it’s about rewriting the story. The goals you set at the beginning of the year may not all be achieved yet, but this is not the time to give up. It’s the time to lock in, push harder, and believe in the plot twists that can change everything. Life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it, and the ember months always carry that energy of possibility. So while others may be waiting for the year to end, I see this as the best time to make the year count.
