At The End of 2025!

I can’t believe we’re already in the final month of 2025. December. The last page of the year. And in just a few more weeks, we’ll be stepping into 2026. How wild is that? 2026. We’re officially more than half a decade away from the pandemic, and somehow I’m halfway through my 30s? Truly… what is going on?

If I were to reflect on 2025 — with just one month left to wrap it all up — I’d be lying if I said it was a great year. It wasn’t. 2025 tested me in every possible way. Financially, emotionally, mentally… you name it. And the last thing I expected was for my anxiety and depression to make a comeback. But somehow, midway through the year, they decided to pop up unannounced like long-lost relatives you really don’t want to see.

And honestly, I spiralled. I was this close to relapsing into a version of myself I thought I had already left behind. But the one thing I’m truly grateful for is that even though I’m dealing with this internally, I didn’t isolate myself physically. I kept myself surrounded by people — friends, colleagues, familiar faces — not necessarily to talk, but to keep me from doing anything silly. Sometimes just existing around others is enough to keep you grounded.

So yes, I do have plans moving forward. Things I want to achieve, things I want to fix, things I want to slowly rebuild. But whether I can do all of it… I honestly don’t know yet. I’m taking it one step, one breath, one small win at a time.

Just pray for me, okay?

Thank you.
