2024

Umm… can I just say it?

2024 was not the year.

I mean, sure, it had plot twists, shocking discoveries, and occasional soft moments, but if it were a TV show, I wouldn’t exactly call it a must rewatch. Or… is it too early to say that? Maybe the season finale will surprise me.

Oh, and I turned 25 this year. Apparently, this is when your frontal lobe fully forms. Which means I’m now biologically equipped to make wise, adult decisions. Did I?

HA. Let’s not talk about it.

The later part of the year was chill (I’m talking about my mind). It’s probably because my work schedule changed and I’m getting 8 hours of sleep and more. I’m still adjusting though; even after weeks have passed, I’d wake up in a full panic thinking I fell asleep at work. It happened so many times I should’ve just made it a morning routine 🤦‍♀️.

One thing I did learn this year: I am not built for low-maintenance friendships. Like, if we started out as clingy besties, you can’t suddenly ghost me for days and suddenly call it low maintenance. That’s not a vibe, it’s emotional whiplash.

But hey, I’m getting really good at detachment. One of these days, I’m calling it my superpower.

Speaking of learning things, I fell in love this year. With a guy on YouTube. His name is Phil. He posts nostalgic, cozy videos, reads books and plays with his dog (I saw him playing with his dog in one clip, and I thought, “Yep, that’s it. I’m done for. This is love.”). We’re soulmates (he just doesn’t know it yet).

Another thing I realized: I am too self-aware. Sometimes I analyze my own thoughts while thinking them, and I’m just like, “Girl, relax. Let yourself be for once.” 😌

But you know what? I really dove into my inner world this year. I worked on my stuff, grew as a person (allegedly), and even healed a little. I saw this quote probably on Pinterest or Threads or somewhere: “My living is healing. You don’t have to heal so you can live. It’s the other way around.” And that hit. Because yeah, I’m living. And somehow, that’s the cure.

To close it out, here’s a playlist I made for this year. Hope you like it. Catch you in 2025. ✌️
