WED DEC 31 2025

uploading this one a bit out of sequence, but thought i would add this given the recent new years celebration!

As of this December 2025, i've been dealing with some minor health complications, which although are by no means debilitating, are still disruptive to the degree where i can't exactly work out, and hence have lost some physical condition...

keeping up with my daily journal has helped maintain my spirits pretty well, so other than my health losing some quality due to no exercise, i've been pretty great overall!

Still, i was in pain and not exactly up for going out much of anywhere, so i was doubtful whether i would go to new year's celebration on the 31st or not, even on the 30th i wasn't sure.
I ended up feeling good enough to dress up a bit fancy and go have some new year's dinner with family! I think it was a good choice to go.
Though i don't mind spending new year's by myself, which i have before, i think it was still good for me to hangout with family and eat some really nice home made dinner.
Even though the whole time i felt quite awkward and like i wanted to leave, i still greatly appreciate them and cherish them a lot, as the meal preparation was a lot of effort, and it being made for everyone attending is something i just love and appreciate so so much.

This drawing is based on a real selfie of me and my sister!
She is not a furry, but since she has an affinity for fruit bats, of course, her fursona is a fruit bat <3

i had a lot to be appreciative of in 2025, and honestly, looking back on my daily journal, i'm amazed that i've been able to keep up with the habit the whole year. I'm super happy i've done it so far.

Given recent world events throughout 2025 and now 2026, i think it's even more important to keep our resilience, to continue creating, documenting. To build your own world and preserve your own humanity.

In times like this, it feels like it's the only thing that keeps me sane sometimes.
