hi 2026 :)

a snippet from my journal

heavily fighting the “new year, new me” energy & found this cute little list of i wrote about 2025…

i spent this year:

• holding onto parts of myself that have never been held

• seeing more clearly, the reality of my life

• letting go of my victim mentality tendencies

• pushing the boundaries of my capacity

• questioning my self-limiting beliefs

• being sad, soft, tender.

• being loud, angry, cringey.

• trying new things; returning to things that feel familiar

• making new connections, letting go ones that don’t feel aligned with the person i am becoming

• rewriting what i thought my life was going to look like

• finding joy, love, care.

• nurturing my relationship with my body

• finding new rhythms

• changing my mind about things

• disappointing people, including myself

• being unkind and unskillful in my communication

• learning how to better take accountability of my actions

• making art

• overthinking

• procrastinating

• getting lost in fictional worlds

• loving in a loud, messy, human way

• loving in a carmen way

• in awe at the communities i get to be part of, the humans i’ve crossed paths with

• writing!!!

• performing!!!

• dreaming :)

• drinking too much coffee

• smoking too much weed

• eating out too much

• cooking meals that were out of this world
