2024 was such a lengthy rollercoaster of a year that trying to sum up how my year was feels impossible. It feels like such a blur and all I can remember at the moment is stuff from November onwards (and November's a month I really wanna forget since it was the worst for me).

As for 2025? Well, let's just say I'm not exactly thrilled about it. The lead weight of anxiety I had about it has since passed, but that doesn't make me more eager for it, or the next four years to come, for that matter.

A convicted felon is gonna be running the show for the second time when he should be rotting in a jail cell, and why? 'Cause apparently this country is a-okay with democracy dying and human rights going down the toilet so long as eggs are made cheaper to buy, I guess. Furthermore, an anti-vaxxer is now in charge of the HHS, so I wouldn't be too surprised is we get another pandemic somewhere down the line that makes COVID look like a joke (perhaps polio makes a comeback?).

Granted, there are some things in 2025 I do look forward to, but I feel like a lot of that's gonna be overshadowed by all the bullshit that's coming our way. Still, I intend to live my life the best I can, be happy with what I got, and savor the stuff I do look forward to, because I think those things are gonna be what helps me get through said bullshit.
