No Resolutions, Just Perspective. This is 2026.
No Resolutions, Just Perspective.
This is 2026.
Should I let you in on a little secret? I knew I wasn’t going to publish a new blog post every goddamn week, but it sounded good. Besides, nobody actually noticed that I was about 17 weeks behind schedule anyway, right? RIGHT?
That being said, welcome back, you beautiful soul. I hope you had a phenomenal start to the new year.
My New Year’s Eve was … quiet.
Okay, fair. I might’ve fallen asleep at 10 pm, but in my defense, I was dealing with a cold — a very clingy one — and welcomed the sleep that put my uncontrollable coughing to rest for a few hours. But enough about me.
Why am I back?
I’m glad you asked.
I feel like sharing, and after nine days on my couch, I might have gone a bit schizophrenic. Don’t judge me. Actually, do what you want. I genuinely don’t care.
Let’s get into it. 2026 feels different. Or maybe it’s just my newfound appreciation for health. I will never — and I repeat, never — take my non-scratchy throat for granted ever again. If you’re reading this and feeling down for whatever reason, just remember: health is everything!!!
It puts so many things into perspective. To be fair, I didn’t hate my semi-forced rest. Well, that’s a lie. After day five, I got a little irritated because it just kept getting worse.
Also, if you need any YouTube recommendations, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. <3 I’ve probably watched every video uploaded between now and 2013. And if you’re feeling nostalgic, I highly recommend Michael Jackson’s live performance at the Grammys in 1988. (Yes, I’ve delved into the depths of the YouTube archives.) This man was something else. I've also watched every “funny moments of Michael Jackson” video out there. Very enjoyable. He-he.
I honestly have no idea where I want to go with this. I guess all I’m trying to say is: appreciate what you have and honour your health.
I know we all have our freshly designed vision boards hanging somewhere in our homes, but let’s not forget about all the blessings, exciting projects and people that are already part of our reality.
One thing that really bothers me about these year-end recaps all over Instagram is that we either only focus on the highs, or we make a post about how straight-up horrific the year was.
For the love of God, people — find a middle.
Life is a never-ending cycle of highs and lows, excitement and disappointment, health and sickness, and a whole lot of mundane, non-glamorous everyday shit.
And you know what? 2026 is probably going to be the same.
I’m not saying ditch the vision board, quite the opposite. Do whatever lights up your soul and work to become the best version of yourself. Just don't let the things that don't go as planned consume you.
Look, if you feel like 2025 was a shit year, I challenge you to write down all the things that weren’t that bad. You might even remember moments that were actually beautiful, blessings in disguise, or things that turned out better than expected.
My year was transformative. I’m not saying a rainbow was shining out of my ass all year, but I’m also not saying I ate horseshit the entire time.
As for the next year, I honestly just plan on riding the wave I'm already on.
I didn’t really think about New Year’s resolutions, partly because I genuinely think they’re nonsense and partly because I quite literally slept through New Year’s Eve. But given my newfound appreciation for health, I guess I just want to live more in the present and show more gratitude for the things and people in my life.
I know it sounds corny, but Eckhart Tolle would be so proud of me, you guys!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to finish my vision board, because your girl has some stuff to do. And isn’t it beautiful that we get to dream, feel, and live for another year?
So, for those of you who still think you ate horseshit all year in 2025 — be grateful that you get to eat shit, my love. We're here to expand and explore. I hope this year gets better for you, though.
I wish you all a great start, and see you next week (lol).
