Normally I wouldn't draw myself under any circumstance. This doesn't even feel like me. I hide behind my sona and feel when I draw her, I draw myself. Even as I drew this, it was difficult. I didn't use a mirror...

Everyone always say New Year New Me...but nothing is different. I am here. I am the same. 2025 took a lot more from me than I ever expected. 2025 also gave me more than I can ask for. There has been many tragedies and I lost my beloved Apollo. I have also reunited with the love of my life and learned some life experiences. I ran a bakery and been to a gala full of models.

At the end of it all...I am still me. Older...with more gray hair...but still me.

For what I hope in 2026? To not lose that. I aim to start a family with the man I love. I plan on finishing college even though I had a 10 year gap. Moving to another country and starting a "big girl" job. No matter what...I can't lose the reminder that I will always be me.

I am me.
