I cannot believe that we are already in the year 2025. 2024 went by so fast, it made my head spin. Every body says, “new year, new me” in the beginning of the year. However, my sarcastic ass shelf says, “new year, same old me.” I say that because I have been in my healing era where I am listening to my body more, healing my inner child, and doing things that bring me joy. So, for me, I am just grateful that I am here at the beginning of the year and that I will have another year of chapters, memories, and on my own journey for 2025.
I know that for some people, the beginning of the year is calm and the start of the something new. For me, I try my best to get the courage to start anew, but I quickly get slapped into reality that I am not an ordinary normal person. I am a woman with baggage, riddled with severe anxiety/PTSD/depression, and my chronic illness of fibromyalgia. In addition to all that, I am a soft goth, witchy, nerdy, gamer with a sense of humor and who likes to create a multitude of things and stresses easily. Sure, I have my moments where I feel confident in being all of the said above, but I can quickly shoot myself down with negative comments to myself. I am a Sagittarius by nature, but I can also be a quiet and reserved mouse.
As you can all see, I am very hypocritical when it comes to describing me. It’s like I want to be a star such as putting myself out there and creating on the internet, but the other shoe always falls and I get overwhelmed with the thoughts of will they like me, will they like my content, and will they accept me for who I am. Then, I go back inside my shell. Again, this cycle happens every year, so I thought maybe I shouldn’t try so hard and do things when the timing feels right. I don’t have to do everything all at once, I can be freed from myself slowly. I am nervous about starting a new chapter, a new year, and figuring out what I want to do or what I want to accomplish during this time. However, if I want to change the cycle, then I have to climb the mountain.
Hopefully, there are people out there in the world that feel how I feel and if you are, you are definitely not alone friend. I AM going to break the cycle and have a great 2025. I hope you all have an amazing 2025 and I wish you the best. Live long and prosper.
