Last year of 2024, the year when by so fast now I’m staring at the mirage of January

I’m not unhappy about this year, though there’s so much more I could have done, I’m proud of what i have done. Life is as easy as you make it; this year I choose the hard mode.

I’m excited for 2025, ultimately in my mind 2025 has sort of started already, 2024’s looming presence has shunken. Moving on to 2025 starts now lol

I think the beauty of meeting someone just once to understand them to be part of their life for a brief second or a moment. It’s so wonderfully terrible, that’s the process of life I suppose.

progress, no matter how taxing and dauntingly slow it may seem, is still progress and still worth being proud of

I feel so lost when I talk to you, I’m looking at a friendships that doesn’t seem to exist. Am I giving up too soon ? I’ve had thoughts about this for a while but I’m not sure …

I hope you understand, you deserve nothing but love regardless of your past or your futures mistakes to come. You deserve it all.

I am free and that is why I am lost - Franz Kafka
