2025 outtakes 🎬 ended one era 🩷➡️🖤 started another - pt 2!
Might’ve lived life a little too hard in 2025 😅 maybe that’s also evident from this taking me 2 weeks into 2026 to put together 😆 but I’ve put a lot of thought into reviewing last year and starting this one. Social media tends to be folks’ highlight reel but since this year’s had some polar highs and lows I thought it would be fitting and helpful to me to explore / reflect on my own highs and lows!
2025’s Highs:
1. Gagachella for my 30th!
2. Co-curating the Born This Way Exhibition
3. Made $3k from solely art in May!
4. Beautiful days / nights with friends not even pictured here bc it’s too much to fit in one post 🖤 but yall know who u r
5. Meeting the insanely talented people I never thought I’d get to meet pictured in this post!
2025’s Lows:
1. Car totaled on Halloween :’(
2. Financial insecurity
3. Health issues (but also healed from some!)
4. Controversy / injustice surrounding work / art
5. Special occasions that didn’t go as planned
Some of you know I choose words of the year and the past few have been a bit melded / multi-themed. I think “healing” has a been pretty central word I’ve tacked onto the past two years, and within them— 2024’s words were reckoning / retribution, 2025’s was justice and for 2026 I’m stuck between reward / abundance…by comparison I think that means it’s gonna be a good year 😘
