I remember 2025 as an annoying teacher—
a year full of lessons, I realized then,
now that 2026 is ready to open its door.
That was my biggest realization—
every day of 2025,
even the breezy ones, hid lessons.

The thing about New Year’s resolutions is that they’re a tricky area. I like them because they force me to stop and reflect on the changes I would like to incorporate in my life. At the same time, I don’t like them because I almost always fail to keep them throughout the year.

Every morning — well, most mornings — I start my day by writing my morning pages.
It’s a slow process ,the first reminder to slow down and savor the moment. And of course, it’s 5 a.m., it’s cold, and I’m somewhere between sleepy and trying to keep my eyes open.

Some days are like today. I feel empty—
like there is nothing I can do,
like there is nothing I can excel at.
Emptiness, a rapidly attacking virus, chews me up from the inside, and I’m disappearing. Slowly. Steadily.
