2024 reflections












Houston - miss you, but it's still not the right time
Philly - learning to love you, we're taking it slow
Paris - still love you
Mexico - yearn for you all the time and will be back soon
back to the darkroom - intoxicating / bliss
family - new level of missing you has been unlocked
abuelita - my heart may never recover but I think about you every day and for that I am grateful
Matthew - my love for you has deepened so much with each year, especially a difficult year like this one. your optimism is infectious. thank you for bringing out the child in me, and for laughing with me every single day. you keep me young, I keep you young
so many memorable visits from far away friends - ty Pao, Gio, Miguel, Pauline, Mitchell, Alex, Ale, Connie, Yaz, Joe, Joseph you were beautiful distractions from the harsh realities of 2024
sweet friends that kept me sane and entertained - ty Xuan, Chris, Mehgan, Hanzi. I may very well have crashed out without you
therapy - learning to love myself, I feel unstoppable sometimes
teaching - both softened and toughened me in the best ways
charli - brat and all its iterations sounds sooo good when you don't have a bitch in your ear asking silly questions
songs I love that came out this year :
for the first time, at my big age of 33, I felt the stifling grip of adulthood take over and slowly drain my youthful spirit (dramatic)
this year I felt time and energy to care about the silly things that make me happy (music, movies, dressing up, dancing) slip away from me and I hated that
being broke sucks
as a cancer-ass cancer, it’s hard for me to not be chronically nostalgic (although I don't really like casually talking about the past - "remember when is the lowest form of conversation")
this year I thought about the past a lot. I thought about my teens and twenties and how much I lived through and how much stuff I didn't give myself credit for doing. even though I never felt like I was doing enough at the time, I was actually doing the most- exercising free will to the fullest (according to the fyp, apparently the youth are barely catching onto this being an option?)
I especially thought back to December 2017 this year. It was the last time I was simultaneously at very high highs and low lows. I've learned so much about myself in seven years. I'm just proud of myself for falling and getting back up over and over and look forward to the next tumble
12.23.17

12.31.24
my ~loose~ resolutions for 2025 are to have more fun, to make time to be carefree / fangirl, and to leave some room for more mistakes
(also to stretch more and maybe get back into violin)
