hello, 2025
A new year is here! It's always so funny to me how I build it up in my brain, but then the clock announces midnight and I realize I'm still me, the person who lived through the last year. I don't instantly feel any different—I have to work for the new things about me that I'll acquire throughout the year.
I originally meant to make a January goals post, but now that I'm here writing, I think I'd rather make a rough plan of the year first. And now I'm thinking again that I'd rather make a quick summary of the past year...my mind is a bit all over the place, so I'll just take all of that stuff to my journal for now.
But anyway, I love the concept of a new year. There's really no fundamental difference between your old year self and your new year self, but I love how we're all willing to leave it behind and step into a fresh beginning. It pulls out the rare bits of optimism in me. So far these past few days have been pretty much the same for me, but I know I'll get it together in the end. (Or in a few days.) Baby steps, as they say. Hope your year's going well so far!
