This year I have not really done much for my blog. There is a reason for that other than my usual procrastination. I had to cut myself slack because it wasn’t all procrastination.

I looked inward and found that I was in the trenches! Of course I was not in the right headspace to write blog posts. Plus, it’s hard writing when you don’t get much feedback. Plus, we’re in the age of short form video content… who’s reading blogs anyway? So I did not have that much motivation.

Also, besides that, a lot happened in 2024. I had to financially recover from all I did in 2023. Then I turned 30. That was big for me, a milestone I had been looking forward to for a very long time.

Then, I moved out! I was actually so stressed due to my previous living situation. It really took most of my brain power to deal with that. So moving out was a needed thing to do but was also so scary.

You would think I feel relived now that I’ve left but honestly I feel nothing. The only thing I feel is the absence of stress. Other than that I don’t feel big joy or anything like that.

So, yeah 2024 was a lot. I wouldn’t say it was my worst year but I wouldn’t say it was my best. I would rather say I tried my best and I survived, so I’m proud of myself for that.

As we are now in 2025 I look forward to what this year shall bring… sort of. I would like to save up and achieve my goals. I want all my favourite people to succeed in life. May we not slip back into early 2000s beauty standards, I rebuke! And freedom for Palestine.
