I've been reflecting on how I would sum up 2025 in a few words. Initially I was going to clip it from my timeline, throw it overboard, or at the very least flip it the bird or tell it to not let the door smack it on the ass on the way out.
But, I've had a shift. This shaped up to be an amazing year. It was tough, the toughest year of my life. However, I learned that this storm too shal pass. Some people run from storms, some sit in them hoping for change, and others throttle down to drive through them. Although my experience this year seemed to drag on forever, my dad went through something similar and processed it for 20 years before passing away shortly after finally figuring it out. What I went through the last few years is really really tough on the somatic system, and finally have relief on my heart, as well as restored mental clarity. I'm convinced that this same psycological paradox that I was stuck in was the same one that took my dads life. I'm thankful for my therapist, & modern technology to quickly make logical sense of things and complex multi layered concepts across multiple domains to speed up resolutions. I'm also eternally greatful for for my friends that checked on me, showed concern, and offered help in various ways. 2025, I wanted to get rid of you but now I'll remember you forever. You've done your job and I respect it.
2026, It's time to thrive in peace, productivity, and systematic harmony.
It's time to start having fun again. You only live once, and if you're not happy, whats the point?

I'm ready now, and I wish my dad was here to see my next chapter.
