This is the first new years where I didn’t feel I was missing out as much

Usually I feel pretty sad this time of year that I’m not doing something extravagant for New Years but this year, I spent some time with friends doing lowkey stuff. Nothing too big. I got a new job I start later this month that is a big step, so I feel content in that respect. 2025 is gonna be big, so I’m not really worried about what I did or didn’t do in 2024.

I guess I just don’t care so much anymore and it feels liberating. I used to post a yearly recap on social media but kinda got tired of that. It started to feel more and more like a competition to see who “accomplished” the most in a year as if it’s a race somehow. It isn’t. We each make progress at our own speed, and it isn’t indicative of our capability. Life just doesn’t work that way.

Happy New Years!
