I've embraced a lot of things and I'll continue doing so, but maybe with a bit less chaos and more focus. With that, I think the next theme that seems to resonate with me right now, is Foundation. Goodbye 2025, hello 2026, and I hope everyone has a good one 8/8

Regardless, this year, I feel that I've gone further than I ever have. Despite the world around us seeming to burn, it's been relatively fine in my world. Who knew how far it takes one to focus on oneself with the help of a therapist. 7/8

In regards to professional life, there's a lack of anything despite almost everything changing. 6/8

It wasn't all rosy and resolved, I still wrestle with frustration and anger and hopelessness over broken dreams and uncertain futures. But I can only carry on. 5/8

Attended more events, travelled, drove, cycled, made new friends, tied up some loose ends, and unearthed interests and hobbies that I didn't realise I had. So I'd say I was on track despite not paying much intention. 4/8

I didn't really set much of a theme then but it went along the lines of self-love and self-discovery. I didn't put it up on a post-it, but I did many new things I'd never done before. 3/8

After the terrible 2024 "Year of Healing", 2025... was actually pretty surprisingly good. There were many ups and downs as is usual of life, but things felt relatively more controlled, or at least my responses were more consistent? 2/8

The way it was edited in a way where every stage change follows up with what she was doing in the previous is just 🤌 made me watch it twice

English is such a weird mishmash of origins that there is no fix even if switching to more phonetic spelling. Some have suggested a completely unique phonetic alphabet for English, like Shavian, which is an interesting experiment in itself.

See you (i.e. nobody but myself lol) again next year, if the world doesn't burn down by then. 6/6

I'd normally be more hopeful at this point and leave everyone with a more optimistic outlook. I still work with a therapist and have a more balanced interpretation of things to be capable of doing that. But I just don't want to, not especially after such a godawful year. Just let me get over it. 5/6

A month is gone in 2025 yet I've yet to figure the next theme. Probably something along the lines of self-love or more self-discovery, both can be cyclical processes. 4/6

I probably made as many new friends as I had lost close ones, though that's not really a lot actually. I was hoping I had been able to meet and make more friends, but apparently it wasn't ever part of the themes, which were essentially to get back on my feet and learn to speak up for myself. 3/6
