I’m not much of a resolutioner (I know that’s not a word…don’t come for me), but one thing I do have on my mind for the year is becoming consistent with my blog. I took a whole year off of sharing my life and my struggles during 2024, but I’m ready to get back to it because I know I need it. My biggest hope in sharing is that I can continue to help others that may be struggling with similar things.

Here’s what you missed in 2024…get ready

A few EDM festivals and shows that allowed me to express myself and connect with wonderful friends, quit smoking cigarettes, medically retired from the Army, started a new job working at a massage and yoga studio that gave me so much joy and allowed me to meet some amazing people, continued work as a virtual assistant (lost a few clients, gained a few more), had many failed first dates (something I’m 100% not forcing in 2025), did my first powerlifting meet, moved out of my rental, purchased my second home and planted some roots, continued with countless hours of therapy and a few medication changes, bought a new Honda because good ol’ Glenn the Suby was failing me, traveled and had some needed time with family and finally quit vaping (hopefully for good).

2024 was filled with a lot of ups and downs and my depression definitely clouded a lot of the positives that happened to me over the last year, but I’m still here. There were a lot of days that I couldn’t even get out of bed and the only thing I did on those days was make sure my dogs were taken care of. I felt like my world was crashing in on me, but looking back, everything was happening for me. Being alone the majority of the year had me questioning everything and there were days I really didn’t want to be alive (those were the days I relied on my therapists and doctors to help me through things…opening up to those closest to me is something I still struggle with but hopefully I can get better at it this year). The goal for the next year is to focus on the tiny magical moments every day, the love my family has for me, the love my dogs have for me, and the motivation I have within myself to create a life I’m proud of.

2025 is MY YEAR…I’m speaking it into existence and I hope it is yours as well. We all deserve to cultivate a life that brings us so much joy we want to share it with the world. I promise to be more consistent with posting and sharing my story with as many people as I can.

What are your goals for 2025?
