Happy New Year!

 Is it still valid to say that? I don’t think I’ve ever felt this stupidly optimistic about a year before. It’s like I can feel it in my toes—2025 is going to be a good one.

2024? Well… let’s just keep it G-rated and say it wasn’t my best. But I recently read something about being where your feet are, and I’m trying to live by that. Trying to show up, to let the present be enough.

I’ve got my list of all the good habits I’m adopting:

  • Drink more water (a classic, but necessary).
  • Speak my mind (even if it wobbles a bit at first).
  • Stretch (I mean, I have a yoga mat now, so obviously, I’m very serious about this).
  • Let things happen and let them—the lesson here is patience.
  • Maybe not write off all self-help books (I’m scared some of them might actually be onto something).
  • Stick to fiction, though—it’s still the superior genre.
  • More homecooked meals, long walks to stay snatched and grounded (emphasis on grounded!).

And of course:

  • More margs.
  • More music and great movies (all music is great; I just want more of it).
  • More genuine smiles and bellyfuls of laughter.
  • More creativity.
  • Just… more good.

Here’s to making 2025 everything it promises to be. ✨

The sunset. Rainy mornings you get to sleep in. Date nights  Vacations that go by too fast. Sunday afternoons wrapped in stillness. Your favorite song on repeat. Your favorite movie, even when you know all the lines. The smell of old books. Late-night drives with no destination. That sandwich bite. Handwritten notes. Flowers growing through pavement cracks. The way light filters through your window. Worn-out kicks that feel like a second skin. Laughing until your stomach hurts. I could go on forever, but I’ll let you think of some. <3

  The first step of any meaningful pursuit is to severely underestimate its difficulty. A tweet I saw. This is radicalizing me because I will stop attempting something I had interest in if I do not immediately excel at it. What’s that complex? God? Anyways. Been reading a lot of short-form content because the books I’m finding are not keeping me sat and are ruining my sleep schedule. I miss that. I need that. But back to what I’m saying... I got to reading about inventions, and I’m a history nut already, but I’m really loving history of things —specifically, inventions made out of love. To be loved is to be known and considered because check it. But first—did you catch that? Romanticizing everything? Yeah. Back to it... surgical gloves , band-aids , Wordle —this was a surprise for me because I thought it was just a paper filler. The telephone —see, I thought this was Mr. Graham, but turns out some Italian chap invented it while working in his basement lab at home. His wife was ...

How much self-awareness is too much self-awareness? Like, where does this self-awareness become debilitating? When does it stop working for the powers of good and start self-distracting? Self-awareness. Overthinking. Rumination. Very much aware of the all-over-the-place use of literary devices; it’s meant to trigger something. Plato who? Clock it!( I love saying this so much it's becoming a problem) I truly think it’s a curse, this self-awareness that I have. Heavy is the head because I kid you not, I will ruminate? Can we say that? Myself into a bad mood. Part and parcel of why I’ve not been on here in so long. Did you catch the subtext? I’ve missed you, dearest reader. With that, here’s a list of things that are definitely none of your business : Why someone hasn’t texted you back (lmao if I haven’t texted you back and have posted on my Instagram story, I’m literally doing this for clicks sksks) How much someone is eating or not eating Bodily change? What someon...
