I don't think 2025 was a bad year emotionally but it was definitely mentally draining - majority because of work and coworkers. I don't remember too many things being bad but did get sick about 3-4 times, luckily did not miss anything because of the sickness! I think this year I really got to embrace some change and have finally accepted things so I wouldn't overthink it too much or feel resentment (in terms of social life/friends). It was very eventful but also not really at the same time lol. Had lots of fun, made new friends ~ but anywho here's the recap ~
