22 crazy years. And 2025 was definitely one of the craziest years. Throughout this year, I learned quite some lessons.

1. Letting go of unrequited attention. 
Attention given out of obligation never feels fulfilling. The right connections show up willingly.

2. Accepting that priorities change.
People evolve, seasons shift, and what once mattered may no longer fit. Growth doesn’t always look like a linear progression.

3. Standing up for myself and my dreams.
I stopped shrinking to make others comfortable. Choosing myself felt scary at first, but staying silent felt worse.

4. Learning that self-love isn’t always found alone.
Sometimes it’s built through safe people, shared laughter, and being reminded that you’re worthy of care. Independence and connection can coexist.

5. Taking life less seriously
My body forced me to slow down through A LOT of injuries and burnout. I learned that rest and humor are just as productive as discipline.

6. Being open while staying private.
I became more honest with my emotions, while also learning when to keep things sacred.

7. Choosing sanity over opinions
Protecting my sanity became more important than pleasing everyone.

8. Doing things scared.
I left med school, chose DPT abroad, and stepped into a life I never imagined for myself. I disappointed some people, surprised myself, and proved that fear is a sign of opportunities for growth.

9. People coming and going
Train theory. Some stay, some leave, some pass through briefly. Not all endings are bad; sometimes they’re just different directions.

10. Moving at my own pace.
Wildflowers don’t care where they grow, and neither should I. Comparison only steals joy from a journey meant to be personal.

11. Making space for sadness and hope.
Feeling low doesn’t mean I’ve given up on life. All emotions are valid, even the ones that turn our smiles upside down.

12. Understanding separate worlds.
You won’t always be someone’s priority, and that doesn’t mean you don’t matter.

13. Valuing who and what matters.
You won’t matter to everyone. Time is precious, so spend it where it’s returned.
