WHAT A YEAR 2025 WAS!

Can I properly start 2026 without getting how 2025 was out of my system? That year was a whole lot, and I would have said it wasn’t about the year, but almost every single person has something crazy to say about their experience throughout the entire year. Don’t get me wrong, good things did happen since life can’t be bad at all times. However, for me, in 2025, I went through too much. Maybe more than one person should. It was a lot!

2025 was that year I wasn’t enthusiastic one bit about my birthday. I was, in fact, depressed and overwhelmed.

I just really want to rant about all of it now and get it out of my system because 2026 has to be a better year. This is me trying to put the past in the past, reminisce on it, and try to do better and be better. 2025 tested my mental health, tested my patience, tested my entire being as a whole. It was such a traumatizing year that I wouldn’t relive it even if I was offered a billion dollars. Since I have lived and known myself, I don’t think I have ever cried like I did in 2025. My mental health was hanging by a thread, and I still had to keep moving.

I didn’t know how strong I was until I experienced 2025, and honestly, I don’t think I ever want to find out if I can take more than I did. I don’t want to, ever! Amidst it all, though, I can’t help but be grateful for the expansion of my business. That was the highlight of my entire year. I was very grateful and excited during that phase of my life. Was it scary? Oh yes! I overthought everything. I was scared of failure, and I was literally having panic attacks every hour, lol. Anyways, I am super proud of myself for not chickening out and for seeing it through till the end.

And yes, I showed myself more on camera in 2025, did more for my brand than I ever imagined. I am looking forward to doing even more this year. Once you clock that your shyness might be the thing holding you back from greatness, you learn to be more audacious. That is exactly what I want to work on this year. If you are reading this and you have plans to start content creation this year, I am completely rooting for you, and I hope you get it right ❤️

I am so glad 2025 is over and another chapter is starting. It might be just another day, but mentally, it’s a clean slate where everything could be a lot better than it used to be. I really hope 2026 turns out to be a really good year. I’m not only hoping, by the way, I will definitely be putting in my all. I do hope it is worth it in the end and that there are obvious results.

By the way, I am thinking of starting another writing streak on Hive. Should I? Should I not? I think I should! I’ve done it before for six months in 2024, and I believe I can do it again. Just in case, I have marked my calendar for today.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ✨️❤️
