How’s 2025 So Far? Happy? Unforgettable?
I started writing this in the days before and after New Year’s.
What began as a simple reflection somehow turned into something else entirely. At times, it felt like I was writing another book.
It took me until April to finally put my pen down. To say, it’s done.
As we turn the calendar each year, our minds rush ahead—to what’s next, to fresh goals, to promises we make with fingers crossed and hearts hopeful. But rarely do we stop to ask: What actually happened? Did we follow through? Did the year deliver what we imagined—or something else entirely?
Don’t worry—there’s always something to look forward to. But before we leap ahead, I think it’s worth pausing to look back.
This post is my way of doing that. A collection of stories, moments, photos, and memories—some small, some sweeping. A year in reflection.
So if you’re curious what last year actually felt like—well, here’s my take.
