A Point. But Not the End. Goodbye 2025

This year, I didn’t feel like doing a traditional recap.

Not because it was a bad year. Quite the opposite, it was a year full of new opportunities, of movement, of daring myself to try things I once postponed.

But instead of listing achievements, I found myself thinking about something else.

About the things no one saw.

The decisions that weren’t applauded.
The moments of being alone.
The quiet processes that only happen when you stop explaining yourself to the world.

I realized that what I remember most are not the highlights, but what I lived in silence.

The doors that closed.
And the ones that opened softly, without noise.

The choices I made even when I thought they might be judged.

My recap isn’t made of milestones. It’s made of internal shifts.

Of learning to sit with myself. Of trusting my instincts again. Of choosing presence over urgency.

And maybe you feel it too.

That sense that not everything meaningful needs to be shared.
That growth doesn’t always look impressive from the outside.
That some years change you quietly but forever.

So this year, I put a point. But not a full stop. A point and followed.

Because there is still so much to live. So much to explore.
So much to understand about the world, and about myself.

And wherever you are reading this from, I hope you take a moment too. To look at your year with kindness.
To acknowledge every step, the brave ones, the uncertain ones, the messy ones.

I hold space for your achievements. For your failures.
And I gently push you toward whatever it is you still want to try.

This isn’t the end. It’s just the next line.
