- Letting go without guilt. Of things, of attachments, of emotions that no longer serve me. People-pleasing is its own kind of hell, and learning to let go is one step to healing.
- Letting people be. I may not agree with your choices, but I respect your freedom to make them. The universe has its own way anyway of showing whether we've fucked up or not.
- Being more compassionate with myself. Would I talk to my daughter the way I talk to myself? No, definitely not. So why do I allow that voice to speak harshly to me?
- Asking for help. I can only do so much. And there are people willing to help me.
- Done is better than perfect. The frustrated perfectionist in me still resists this truth, but it is what it is. Otherwise nothing will ever get done.
2025 has been good to me --- better than any of the past five years since the pandemic, so I'm really looking forward to 2026 with a lot of positivity. I'm finally getting out of my depressive fog, which is actually the best thing that has happened thus far. I still don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life but we'll get there, one step at a time. 2025 was all about healing. 2026 will finally be about rebuilding.
