2025.
I still can’t believe how fast you passed.
The year where I finally found myself around the people and in the places I had always wanted to be in — and yet somehow felt the most displaced.
I did projects that scared me. Some days I stayed quiet, some days I wanted to scream and say hey, did you see that? I’m finally doing this.
What never changed was how much I look forward to my work. I really do love what I do, even when it asks everything from me.
But 2025 also taught me, in the hardest way, that I don’t care anymore — I don’t care what it takes to bring my vision into ex*****on. I found a few people who became my core, and a few who taught me to trust my gut when it whispers this person won’t get your vision right.
There were projects that made me compare myself to others, until I realised it only happened when I was the youngest at the table, or surrounded by people who had never known kindness.
This year taught me to be kind, but not small. Confident, yet grounded. To stop over-explaining, and stand my ground when it came to my work.
2025 reminded me that kindness isn’t weakness — it just takes longer to show its strength.
I’ll remember you for pushing me into discomfort and making me listen to my heart, even when it felt hard.
