Into the New Year

I'm not generally a person who does new year's resolutions, but I am a person who believes in the universe. Speaking what you want into existence. My mom used to say, "surround yourself in light and love," which hasn't exactly been my M.O. this past year. Money struggles, moving away from home, moving back home, and having lost myself with past experiences, has led me to not feel the greatest. I'm here to share my top three wants out of 2026. Enjoy!

First off, I'm speaking (more like shouting) that I want my blog to take off, help those who feel alone, and (though cheesy) make a difference. My life experiences hopefully help someone(s), which is important to me. I myself, have felt alone and lost in some circles being a caregiver, raised as an only child, and losing much of what made me who I was in Arkansas. I'm coming back around to who I am, but it's taken me way more time than I'd like to admit. Let's just say, fitting in has never been my strong suit but most of the time, I wish it was.

A beautiful segway into my second want of 2026, a friend group more around my age. Making friends my age has always made me anxious. I couldn't tell you why, maybe because I've been burned by them or I'm not as into the brain rot of it all, I'm unsure. But it would be nice to have friends to rely on, hang out with, and have more in common with. Having friends with a large age gap makes it harder for older people than for me, so not fitting in seems to be the gift that keeps on giving.

My third and final want of this new year is to get my mental health in check and better. I have fluctuated throughout the years of thinking I need therapy then coming around and then feeling like I'm ok without it. Or maybe even find something else that works for me besides just medication. I just want to find my happier/old self again.

Well, that's it for today, thank you for listening (that's something I used to say to my journal.) I am grateful for 2025 and all the lessons it has taught me and of course my family and loving boyfriend. I hope everyone has an awesome and safe New Years! Here's to 2026, see you in the new year. Share your resolutions, wants, and the like of 2026 in the comments below. Until next time. Bye!
