I can’t believe it’s 2026. It feels just like a regular morning (I slept through the festivities). This is the most jaded I’ve felt going into a new year, I’m more excited that 2025 is over. I’m so glad that I can hit a reset button, even if it’s virtual.

2025 was long, it was hard, it tested my wisdom, my patience, my temper, and my self-esteem. It tested me emotionally and mentally and it’s safe to say that I passed by 50%.

2025 was the literal definition of a rollercoaster, it felt like riding a rollercoaster for the first time, but I grew. I grew through everything.

I grew through the sleepless nights, the manipulative conversations, the self-let-downs, the health setbacks, the embarrassments, the disappointments. I grew through every single moment and I not only feel stronger, I feel wiser as well.

I feel a lot more confident going into the new year because I trust myself. I know that no matter what I go through, I will always have my back, and I will always push myself through. I know now that I can get through any crisis. I can do the necessary thing to make sure that I get better. I can pick myself up so I’m not afraid of falling.

I also won last year. I passed my 3rd MBBS exam amid the chaos that was 2025, I really did that.

I’m amazing, and I love that I can see that now.
