Do your best work offline and do not expect to be thanked. Do it because it's the right thing to do, not because you want people to like you. We all go into the dirt alone. No one else will be there when your guardian angel starts listing off your good deeds. Learn to be emotionally self-sufficient.

Often feel like my mind is non-stop racing.

I'm not 25 and exhausted anymore. Now, I'm 30 and exhausted. 😩

Freelancing... Maintaining a niche YouTube channel. Planning travel logistics and meet-ups for conventions. Working to pursue growth and "put myself out there" with my career and photography goals.

The responsibilities of trying to sleep and eat enough, stay on top of house choree, and the endless grind of trying to declutter my room and the whole house.

Trying to keep up with video games I WANT to play and deeply enjoy, along with any video game "dailies."

THIS FORMATTING DRIVES ME NUTS.

2025 was a year that I really evaluated my social media consumption and usage. I still think it's healthy to have an outlet to write and reflect, but not every thought needs to be on the internet, and the less opportunity for doomscrolling, the healthier.

I was on Twitter for about... 12 years? Up until late 2024, managing two accounts even.

I remember reaching a point on both platforms, I was using Chrome extensions just to make them more tolerable to use.

*knock on wood* that doesn't happen here.

Don't forget to contribute to your Roth IRAs 😂
