2026 Must Be The Change

I've lived in my new place for a year now, and I can't help but feel like I should have accomplished more. I was in a very toxic environment before 2025 and I'm beyond grateful to be out of there, but at the same time those feelings of lazy relief also feel like coasting through the time I've spent here. It may be my mind still having that urgency to it, like I have to be productive at all times or I feel guilt and shame. No idea if that will ever go away but it also fuels my desire to make things better. It's a double-edged sword, really.

2026 is a new year and has a lot of fantastic potential. Truly on my own free to live and do as I please. It's a liberating feeling. Even though times like these can bring that sense of fear or uncertainty, I welcome it. Because stagnation feels stiff, old, dry, and silent. I've been trying more to have a "FIWB" mentality with things and it just opens up to new opportunities and connections. It's amazing what happens when you actually do the damn thing. I want to continue that momentum into the new year and really build on what I already have.

I hope whoever reads this also has a great year and good luck to you in your future endeavors.
