my 2025 goals liiiiiiist ! + how to write your owwwwwwn (by following categories)

1. achieving my body goal (this one)

Category n¹ :Physical Health & Wellness

1. Assess Where You Are Right Now— Start by taking a look at your current habits and your overall health. What’s working for you? What areas can you improve in? Maybe you need more sleep, a better diet, or more consistent exercise. Be honest with yourself about where you’re at.

2. Set Realistic, Achievable Goals— Make sure your goals are specific and achievable. Instead of saying "get fit," try something like "exercise 3 times a week for 30 minutes" or "eat 3 balanced meals a day." Small, actionable goals are more manageable and easier to stick with.

3. Focus on What Feels Right for You— Physical health isn’t just about pushing your body to the limits. It’s about what works for you. Choose exercise routines and foods that make you feel good, not just what looks good on paper. If you don’t like running, try something else like swimming or cycling. If you don’t love vegetables, explore creative ways to make them enjoyable.

4. Track Progress & Adjust— Keep track of your progress, whether through journaling, an app, or simply by checking in with how you feel. If something isn’t working for you, adjust it. Maybe you need more rest or a different workout routine. Listen to your body.

5. Make It a Habit— Consistency is key. Set a routine that you can realistically stick to. It might take time to make these changes feel like a part of your everyday life, but consistency will make it happen. Don’t forget to celebrate small wins along the way to keep yourself motivated.

2. Start getting better grades and studying more

Category n² : Academic excellence

1. Reflect on Your Current Academic Standing— Start by evaluating where you stand academically. What subjects do you need to focus on most? What were your strengths last year? Understanding where you’re at gives you a clearer picture of what to work on in 2025.

2. Set Clear and Measurable Goals— Be specific about your goals. Instead of just saying “do better in school,” break it down into measurable goals like “improve my grade in french by 10%” or “study 1 hour every day for history.” This gives you a clear direction.

3. Create a Study Plan— Organize your time wisely by creating a weekly study plan. Map out your schedule, making sure to balance schoolwork, revision, and breaks. This will help you stay on top of deadlines, assignments, and revision periods without feeling overwhelmed.

4. Focus on Active Learning— Don’t just aim for memorization—focus on understanding the material. Engage with your studies through active learning techniques like summarizing, teaching others, and practicing problems. This helps retain information better and makes your learning more meaningful.

5. Stay Consistent and Adjust When Needed— Consistency is key. Set aside time every day to study and stay organized with your notes. If something isn’t working, like a specific study method or subject area, don’t be afraid to adjust your approach. Keep refining your study techniques as you go along.

6. Celebrate Small Wins— Celebrate every academic achievement, no matter how small. Whether it’s acing a quiz or simply staying consistent with your study routine, recognizing these wins will keep you motivated and remind you that progress is being made.

3. create habits and add them to my daily routine (learning mandarine,15k steps daily, reading more interesting books)

Category n³ : Habits

1. Evaluate Your Current Habits— Start by looking at your current habits. What do you do every day? What habits are helping you, and which ones are holding you back? Be honest with yourself about the areas you want to improve.

2. Set Simple, Achievable Habits— Don’t overwhelm yourself with too many changes. Focus on a few simple habits that will have the most impact. Maybe it’s waking up 30 minutes earlier or drinking more water. Start with one or two small changes that are easy to implement and gradually build on them.

3. Create a Daily Routine— A consistent routine is the foundation of great habits. Set a schedule that allows you to prioritize your health, work, and personal growth. Structure your day to include time for rest, study, and self-care so that you don’t burn out.

4. Track Your Progress— Keep track of how well you’re sticking to your new habits. Whether you use a journal, an app, or simply a checklist, tracking helps you stay accountable and gives you a sense of accomplishment. If you miss a day, don’t get discouraged—just pick back up the next day.

5. Make Your Habits Enjoyable— For habits to stick, they need to feel rewarding. Make them something you enjoy. If you want to read more, pick books you’re genuinely excited about. If you want to exercise, try something fun, like dancing or hiking. When you enjoy it, you’re more likely to stick with it.

6. Be Patient & Stay Consistent— Habits take time to develop. Don’t expect immediate results—give yourself the space to grow and adjust. The more consistently you practice these habits, the more natural they’ll become. Progress will come over time, and each small step adds up.

7. Reflect & Adjust— Regularly check in with yourself to see how your habits are working for you. Are they helping you feel more productive, calm, or confident? If something’s not working, tweak it. Don’t be afraid to adjust as you grow.

3.devlopping my mindset mooore (I'm sensitive and over thinker typa of person like a loooot)

Category n⁴ : mindset and self-love

idk but girlsssss we should talk more Abt this topic out loud Our mindset shapes everything—our actions, relationships, and success. So this year, we’re cutting out the things and people that no longer serve us, like toxic friendships or self-doubt. When we love ourselves, we don’t settle for less than we deserve. It’s not about being selfish; it’s about setting standards for ourselves and others. You know the type of girl I’m talking about— (to cut) the one who’s always got something to say about other people’s appearance, or how they’re living their life. “You look bad today,” “I hate your hairstyle,” or “Why are you wearing that?” It’s always some backhanded comment that makes you feel small. But let’s be real for a second—like girl WHAT THE FXK .. People who spend all their time focusing on putting others down are usually just projecting their own insecurities. They want to feel better about themselves by making others feel worse. But here’s the thing: we’re not going to entertain that energy. When someone tries to tear you down, it’s a reflection of their own lack of self-love or understanding.Instead of responding to their negativity, we need to rise above. The best revenge? Living your best life and shining even brighter when they expect you to dim. Those types of girls who always have something to say about others' looks, outfits, or choices—they’re just distracted by their own insecurities. If they spent half the energy they put into criticizing others into building themselves up, they’d be too busy focusing on their own glow-up.So when someone throws shade, just remember: it says more about them than it does about you. You don’t need to let their words define you or affect your self-worth. Keep doing you, because your energy is too valuable to waste on people who can’t even recognize their own flaws. And when it comes down to it, anyone who makes you feel like you’re not enough doesn’t deserve a place in your life. Keep your peace, stay focused on your growth, and trust that the right people will appreciate you for who you really are. U are a baddie

Opinion on latest episode?

Zak Bagans brings me such joy.

He's just such a...doofus. It reminds me of a simpler time.

Other than that, I don't think I have (m)any good things to say about this video. I'll go behind a cut for the meat of this, but reader beware: I am going to be critical and, quite frankly, kind of mean. I am probably going to say some ugly truths that some people don't want to hear. If you can't handle that, skip this and catch me on the next post.

Before the cut, here's a few pre-game positives about the video:

The concept was actually interesting.

I like that it was just snc (and Zak, briefly). Less guests in 2025!!

Colby's outfit in St Augustine made me laugh. Why the high socks and low shorts combo? (Is this a positive? I don't know)

Alright, well that was fun. Now onto the part that's bound to get me in trouble:

I think I'm just going to jump right into the deep end and talk about Sam, first.

*TW: I am not nice about this. Last chance to skip this whole thing if you think that will be a problem for you.*

I struggled with how I wanted to word this, because my initial thoughts throughout this whole thing were not fit to print.

I don't want to be mean.

But like...what the fuck, man.

There is a level of self absorption in Sam that is honestly going to tank this whole channel if he doesn't get it the fuck together. The name on the door isn't "Sam and Friends." It's "Sam and Colby." They are supposed to be 50/50 partners and he has now proven that he thinks his way is the ultimate highway and is repeatedly going into business for himself.

It's disappointing, to say the least.

And I'm going to be very blunt here: I don't care about his need to prove the paranormal to himself, no matter the cost. I don't sympathize with him on that front, even if I can empathize. NONE of us know for sure what's going on after the final curtain call, and none of us ever will until we get there. We are all rowing that same boat to that same destination, but Sam is captaining a ship called hubris and he's headed for a fucking iceberg.

I think the thing that gets me the most about Sam's supreme selfishness is him looking his best friend in the face and disrespecting him by lying to him, trying to take all the big moments in these videos for himself, and completely disregarding Colby's feelings on the matters as if they don't matter. And then when he does tell Colby and Colby gets rightfully upset about it, he starts crying about how it's more important for HIM to prove the paranormal than it is for anyone else in the world because HE needs to believe and HE doesn't believe, and THEN he starts in about how difficult HIS 2023 was to a fucking person who spent half of his 2023 with CANCER.

That is the most manipulative series of events to pull on someone, and the fact that this has happened multiple times on camera is concerning.

When Colby said that it's supposed to be a partnership and it's really not, I felt that. Sam doesn't view them as partners. He views himself as the star attraction and the ultimate top dog of the table and he views Colby in a position of lesser importance.

And sadly, I don't have much hope of that changing.

This is a habit of his. He does this repeatedly. They had a carbon copy of this exact conversation a year ago and NOTHING changed. Hell, they went and filmed Farrar right after this and Sam pretty much guilt tripped Colby into going down into that boiler room, even when he didn't want to.

Nothing is changing.

And here's another really blunt, painful statement: Sam planned this ridiculous bullshit behind Colby's back and continued on with it after watching his best friend kneeling on a floor in front of a doll begging it for forgiveness because he was scared about the possibility of the doll giving him cancer again (I'll get to that in a moment). He heard the tears in Colby's voice when he told Sam he didn't want to disrespect Robert because he never wanted to go through this again.

And then he went into that building and took that photo anyway.

Let that sink in.

Sam's mission took priority over Colby's safety, traumas, and fears.

It's alarming how little regard he has for even Colby sometimes.

I don't know. I think Colby was owed much more of a genuine apology than what was shown on camera. He is definitely owed a fuckton more respect than what's being afforded him.

I have doubts that he's getting either of those.

.

So all of that dovetails into my other huge issue with this whole video, which is Robert the Doll and the issue of Colby's cancer.

Let me preface this by saying that I do not think any doll caused that cancer, and I'm not thrilled that they are starting to allow this narrative after more than a year of dismissing it.

That being said, I want to point something out here, and I think it's something that everyone forgets sometimes.

Colby went through a very traumatic experience with his cancer journey. And he did it very publicly, while being in the paranormal community.

He is a man with a history of chronic anxiety and a belief in spiritualism and the paranormal. He has also had the fear of reoccurrence of his cancer hanging over his head for a while now.

He's got people on the internet constantly telling him the doll may have caused it. He's got his friends using that as a plot point for their own videos with Robert, to great success.

I'm sure after a while, the cogs in some part of his brain started turning and he started thinking, "You know, if that doll did curse me and that's why I got cancer, apologizing to it will lift the curse and I might not get it again."

He had hope for the fear.

So he goes there - with his best friend who helped him through the entire ordeal and the aftermath and has to know better than anybody what this meant to him - with an apology note in hand *just in case* and he sits down with the owners and asks them what they think about all this cursing business.

And they, with dollar signs in their little beady eyes, tell this scared cancer survivor, "Yep, the doll did it, and he's probably gonna do something even worse to you unless you sincerely repent and mean it with every fibre of your being."

And then, to top that off, Colby tearfully goes off and does this whole dramatic unveiling of this doll and looks like he's going to puke, proving that he's really starting to believe all this shit about the doll fucking him (and only him) over. He writes a heartfelt, if slightly cheesy and dramatic, note begging for forgiveness and includes a whole paragraph in there about what a great and loving friend and business partner Sam is and asks this doll to leave them BOTH alone (a weirdly ironic moment, considering). He comes out of this and quite firmly tells Sam he does not want to fuck with or disrespect this doll in any way because he doesn't ever want to go through cancer again.

And then Sam, knowing all of this, with dollar signs in his beady little eyes, goes and takes a picture of the doll behind Colby's back and starts salivating over voodoo dolls he brought of them (including a doll he brought of Colby which proves he was totally planning on including Colby in this despite his claims of wanting to keep him out of it) so he can put a bunch of dolls together and what...create a ghost doll cyclone?

To be honest, I don't know what the fuck he was actually trying for because it sounded so stupid that my brain short circuited and I started seeing stars, but like what the FUCK.

Why was there not one person in this video prioritizing and showing any concern for the cancer survivor they were all just fucking up again and again with this shit?

I don't think Sam's stupid plan would've worked anyway, cause it quite franky made no sense. But HE thought it would work. And he saw all that and did it anyway.

Colby apologized to that doll because that was his way of getting some kind of control back over his fate. And half the people in that building with him that day purposefully tried to scare him and his fanbase more so they could sell more tickets, and the other half purposefully shit all over his wishes to not disrespect the doll by breaking the first rule of respecting the doll because their need to be #1 on the call sheet trounced everything else.

I just cannot comprehend the lack of disrespect peppered throughout this entire monstrosity.

I'm not even going to touch some of the other shit that went on in this video, because I feel like I've pushed my luck far enough with this one and I'm just disgusted and want to be done with this.

But this video was just bad. I did not like it. I have little respect for Sam right now, I'm once again concerned at Colby's inability to stop people from walking all over him, I thought some of the shit in this video was corny (the whole kneeling in front of the doll thing- why did he have to kneel?) and I'm just really tired of the constant "whoops we want too far, gotta take a few months off now to repent" shit when I know nothing's going to change.

This one gets a -12/10. Zak Bagans is the only reason it even scored that high.

That man is a National Treasure. Not one we want or need, mind you, but a treasure nonetheless.

One Hazy Winter [Iso x F! Reader] [2]

[ Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6 ]

Genre: Angst, fluff ‎ 

TW: Depression and implied suicide ‎ ‎ 

Words: 4.7k ‎ 

Synopsis: One winter before his disappearance, you told your boyfriend Yu about a question you’ve had for so long; one even he could hardly respond to. It took many more hopeless winters for you to finally have your answer.‎ 

Note: Please don't copy or steal my work and pass it off as your own! If you'd like to use one of my headcanons or something, I'd love it if you tagged or asked. Also, happy new year!!! 2025 boutta be my year lads

。+❤ฺ·。❤ฺ·。+❤ฺ· +❤·。❤ฺ·。+❤ฺ·

Winter, present day.

‎ 

Sitting on your bed and staring blankly at the wall became one of your top hobbies. And with Yu’s disappearance, with no one left to make you aware as to how fatuous and even harmful this habit was, it only moved up the dwindling list.

In fact, you’d been sitting there and reminiscing for the past five hours. Though you’d usually wear headphones to go along with it, this year, you avoided your earbuds like the plague.

They were tucked away, hidden, collecting dust in your drawer since last winter. And all you had to accompany you as noise were the sounds of the people outside, their chatter muffled by the closed windows. The air was still, your muscles were aching, and your mind was crowded with pessimism.

Losing Yu was almost like the process of losing your parents, minus the denial part of it. There wasn’t one thing in this town that didn’t remind you of him.

The path you took home reminded you of him. The bus he usually took that would pass by you, the blankets, the scent of lemons… Heck, even the rocks he’d kick sometimes whilst you both walked, you swore you saw some of them on the way home today, as if they were jeering at you.

Although Yu helped you somewhat move on from your parents after nearly two decades of grief when you both met, this time, there wasn’t another ‘Yu’ to help you move on from this loss. And you knew Ying wasn’t one to fit this criteria. Not when she was your boss. But… would you even be able to do something like this on your own?

Maybe you were just meant to be alone. Hey, maybe this was your penance for… some wrongdoing you couldn’t think of.

‎ 

However, whilst you were staring, a sudden rush of adrenaline coursed through your body. And you found yourself passing through your bedroom door in the blink of an eye for no good reason.

You were already in the living room with only a few short steps. And the very sight of the cramped area made your stomach churn. Blankets strewn about on the couch and the two armchairs on each side, the remote on the coffee table that was slightly angled to the left, and the grey tufts of the plain carpet that swayed despondently with each passing second. Nothing had moved, and the only change was the dust that began gathering thanks to the neglect.

Your eyes immediately darted to the corner of the living room, and that simply move answered the question that popped up in your mind. 

The plant died. Just as expected. Shrivelled up, starved and dry, its thin branches curled up like the bony fingers of a decade-old corpse.

…

You could already hear Yu in your ear, sensing your grief and looking to cheer you up any way he could. ‘Would you like me to empty that for you?’ he’d say. Then, he’d grab it and take it outside before you’d give him the confirmation, the thought of people judging him not even popping up in his mind.

You were sure he’d then try to convince you that it was okay. It was just one plant, you can always replace it. Besides, houseplants weren’t your specialty, were they?

How sweet of him, you thought. Lying and doing anything to spare your feelings.

You then felt a pang of shame. Aside from work, you hadn’t done anything today. What would Yu say about that? Whatever it was, it wouldn’t be something pleasing to hear, that’s for sure. You might as well do something productive and empty the thing. Declutter a bit. Besides, your muscles were starting to ache from staying still for too long.

‎ 

You grabbed the maroon pot by the rim on each side. Then, with a deep breath, you began pulling it back, using all of your remaining strength to move it outside of the living room without dropping any of the dirt inside. God knows you wouldn’t find the willpower to clean that up, you already used up all of it today back at work and… staying alive in general. But then, another concerning thought popped up in your mind.

If this was how the one houseplant you kept looked like, the thought of what was in the balcony only sent shivers down your spine.

‎ 

❤ฺ·。

‎ 

The bell above let out a peculiarly jolly jingle once you swung the door and entered the café for today’s shift. It was a detail you didn't care enough to note, not since you were too focused on letting your eyes get used to the repetitive chequered patterns on the walls and the mind-numbing music that played. That, combined with the dull morning that hardly differed from the others, you didn’t even realise you slid out of bed today.

However, it wasn’t until Ying’s voice immediately filled your ears, her tone pleasantly complementing said bell and snapping you from your half-asleep zombie-like state.

‎ 

“There you are! How’s my little gardener doing?”

‎ 

She almost spoke in a musical-like cheerful tone, each word rhythmically leading to the next. Ying stood behind the register with a confident posture. Shoulders back, hands on hips, wide smile, and her ponytail ever so gently swaying with the weak breeze that entered from the nearby window like a particularly shy child.

Even the people outside seemed to share the feeling of gloom you always carried you around. So her attitude weirded you out for a second, especially with everything going on, but that’s not what you wanted to ask her about.

‎ 

“Gardener?”

‎ 

“Yes! You took the seeds home from yesterday, remember? Ah, now that I mention them…”

‎ 

Right, the seeds you sealed in a bag and tossed in the back of your fridge. It’s not like you planned on doing anything with them, it was more so done by instinct. You didn’t even know if putting them in the fridge was good for them, you thought as you made your way behind the counter.

‎ 

“What happened to them, if I may ask?”

‎ 

She questioned thoughtfully, one finger on her chin. Her tone bore a hint of eagerness only found in her or Yu’s voice. And though it upset you, you worked to not let this sway the conversation.

‎ 

“I haven’t done anything besides rinse them.”

‎ 

“I insist you try, Y/N. It could be a productive use of your time!”

‎ 

It was painfully obvious what she was referring to. And you weren’t amused, despite how subtle she tried to be about it.

‎ 

“I can hardly keep a potted plant alive, Ying. What makes you think I can get back to something like gardening?”

‎ 

‘You make it look so easy’ everyone said whenever they used to see you march in with tropical fruit you harvested from the trees on your balcony. But it wasn’t. God knows it wasn’t easy at all.

It took years upon years of practice to get to where you were in terms of knowledge. That, and it only took one loss for you to slip down a hole that forced you to list out reasons as to why you should bother making lunch for the day.

‎ 

“You did it before, I am highly certain you can do it again. No, in fact, I am confident you can!”

‎ 

Her eyes sparkled with an inappropriate amount of anticipation. A sparkle that nearly competed with her teal earrings in terms of brightness. Seems like making that juice yesterday set off a bomb of hope inside of her, for some reason. And it didn’t look like she was giving up any time soon.

You held up a hand.

‎ 

“I appreciate the thought, but–”

‎ 

“You should do it!”

‎ 

You jumped once she took your hand in hers, the warmth from her soft skin providing an abundance of comfort.

‎ 

“I’m not waiting a whole year for a measly harvest of two wrinkly fruits.”

‎ 

Almost like she didn’t hear you, Ying continued happily letting the words flow out of her mouth.

‎ 

“There’s a shop nearby that sells garden ready plants. And if I recall correctly, they started selling passion fruit, as well. Perhaps you can give that a try?”

‎ 

A sigh escaped you. You knew that shop. In what world would a former gardener not know something like that?

But it didn’t seem like she was catching on to your body language, either. You were practically begging to be let go from this conversation and just go to work. The thought of dealing with customers was daunting enough already. However… 

Okay, this wasn’t one of your proudest talents, but when reasoning didn’t work, you had another technique on how to make someone as airheaded as Ying shut up. You used it on Yu a lot, after all. But only as a last resort.

‎ 

“Okay. Fine. I’m convinced. I’ll look into it after work. Alone,”

‎ 

You counted down for the response you expected from her. And, just as you thought, she lit up at this, grinning widely.

‎ 

“Tell me how it goes, okay? And– and if you’d like any help, I’ll be one text away.”

‎ 

“Got it.” 

‎ 

You mumbled and walked past her, finally making your way into the familiar yet very unfriendly arms of the back of the counter, clocking in.

Ugh. ‘I’ll be one text away’, she said. You almost felt guilty. Bosses like Ying were hard to come by. And the fact she even cared about your mental health set her value in stone. Yet here you were, brushing off her attempts to cheer you up.

You pushed away the feelings of guilt. If you were going to feel bad, you weren’t going to do it during work. Maybe when you get back and lie back down.

‎ 

❤ฺ·。

‎ 

There was one question you knew Ying most likely wouldn’t have known the answer to whilst she spoke to you about getting back to gardening.

Who bloody cares?

Really, who cared whether or not you went back to gardening? And even if you did, what would you do with the fruit you’d get? It’s not like baking was a priority for you. You could barely get out of bed on most days, let alone use said harvest to produce some sort of dessert or jam, or whatever. That stuff was complicated.

That, and you hardly visited Yu’s grandmother anymore for her monthly lemon dessert. You couldn’t handle the thought.

But you didn’t ask, mostly because you didn’t really want to upset her. Questions like that were more personal to Ying than they ever were to Yu. You weren’t sure why, but you attributed it to her valuing life to an abnormal degree. And, you know, the philosophy stuff.

You aimed to rush home as soon as you could. Walk down the familiar path, ignore that cursed shop, and just get to bed. It seemed reasonable and quite easy. Like every other day. No, like every day. You were just crawling back to the comfort of lamenting the past, of dreading the future and hating the present.

The routine started to sicken you.

You stopped in the middle of your path. Fists clenched, buried deep within your pockets, and the sweat that dripped down your chin despite the blankets of snow around you only added on to the abundance of discomfort you felt. Then, you turned back and walked towards the shop you worked so hard to ignore just a few moments prior.

‎ 

You used your spare money to buy a garden ready passion fruit plant. You had no idea why you were doing this. You had no idea why you would waste your money on something so expensive, just for it to probably die because you couldn’t even take care of yourself. Should you be even doing this in the winter? Wasn’t winter notorious for death?

And yet, with all of this, you still walked out with an empty wallet and a plant to care for.

The very thought of getting up every day and having to water it made your stomach churn. But the only bright side was that this thing didn’t remind you of Yu or your parents. It was just some plant, and passion fruit was your favourite fruit. So, grief couldn’t ruin this for you. Right? Yeah, no. Your mother liked passion fruit, as well.

This was going to be more difficult than you imagined it to be. But, to be fair, most things were.

‎ 

A sigh escaped you as you set the plant inside the vast pot and dumped the extra soil around it. With its roots spread out, it should be safe for it to adapt in this new environment despite the season. However, though you were careful, bits of soil had managed to pour out of the pot and onto the ground whilst you wrapped it around the plant.

You cared for about a few picoseconds, before another thing took over your mind.

With the soil finally surrounding the plant, you dusted your hands off and grabbed the rim of the brown pot on each side. Then, with a huff, you began moving once more. Moving it into the large windows that welcomed the sharp rays of the sun with open arms. Only a few, sure, but they were strong enough and managed to bleed through the blanket of clouds outside. 

There should be enough sunlight for it to grow. And now, with water and some fertiliser, it should bear fruit in about a few…

…

You couldn’t really remember. Wait, should you be even using fertiliser…?

Nevertheless, you stood back and admired your work. But instead of feeling pride, all you thought about was how the leaves and branches were long enough to press up against the walls and the curtains, despite how much distance you worked to put in between them. And exhausted was too tame a word to describe what you felt.

It shouldn’t be too much of an issue, the optimistic side of you thought… unless the main branch grows long enough to hit the ceiling.

‎ 

‘Are you sure there’s enough space?’

‎ 

Yu asked curiously, earning that same vacant look from you. Though he couldn’t see it since he stood behind you, he knew you long enough to the point that he could sense it through the heavy air.

Ugh. 

‎ 

“I’ll make space.”

‎ 

You said between gritted teeth, annoyed at your inability to push away his words. Maybe he was the optimistic side of you, sitting in your brain like an annoying wasp that would sting you randomly.

‎ 

‘You should look into getting a bigger spot.’‎‎‎

‎ 

‎‎‎‎‎“Not everyone has a lush house all for themselves, Yu–”‎

‎ 

You turned to angrily face him, but the only thing your eyes landed on were the drab grey walls of your apartment.

Right. Yu wasn’t here. He was gone. 

Why did you remember what he used to say? You thought as you nervously faced the plant once more, filling in the empty spots with the surrounding piles of soil.

Maybe it’s because he always stuck to you like a row of ducklings to their mother. Or… you just really missed him. And you wanted to apologise for that burst of anger, even though his presence was just a distant memory. Ugh, whatever. 

You forgot about him and your parents while you were moving the pot and the plant. Unfortunately, that short-lived moment of peace immediately faltered once you were done, and you were back to the miserable prison you called a ‘mind’. Maybe this is what happens when you try to get out of your comfort zone. When you try to do something other than lay in bed or mindlessly take customers’ orders like a bloody zombie.

A huff escaped you, and you left to wash your hands. You need to get back to bed pronto. This gardening rubbish wasn’t healthy for you anymore.

‎ 

❤ฺ·。

‎ 

Winter, two and a half years ago.

‎ 

You spent eight hours awake today. But they weren’t really productive by your standards.

Six spent in bed, and two on the couch with Yu’s fingers intertwined with yours. His thumb had been outlining the lines on your palm for so long, it felt like he started digging into your skin. Today was a workday, not a weekday. And neither of you made it to the café for, admittedly, no solid reason. For you, anyway. Your boyfriend probably found a good way to put what happened into words given his impressive eloquence.

‎ 

Yu waited outside for you by the gate like every other morning. Despite the thicker clothes he wore for today, the temperature still seemed to take its effect on him. Nevertheless, he ignored the lingering cold of the blizzard that had occurred yesterday in favour of accompanying you.

But you didn’t show up. Which was… weird, to say the least. You didn’t mention anything about taking the day off today, and Ying didn’t send him any texts either, so…

He waited and waited. Then, he took out his phone and decided to call you. Once, twice, three times… No answer. Then, he sent a few texts. But still, there was naught of a response from you despite how long he had been standing outside. The cold began stinging the exposed skin of his cheeks and fingers. It felt like pins and needles plunged into him, but in this moment, such discomfort felt frivolous to think about.

The clock struck eight, but you were still nowhere to be seen. And despite the state of your mental health, the contingency of you being late for work was one silly to even consider. So, what on earth was going on?

‎ 

“What’s the wait for, son? It’s getting cold out here.”

‎ 

A gravelly voice snapped him from the terror that had been building up, and he looked up to see the security guard standing on the other side of the gate. A cigarette was hung from his lips, the smoke billowing from it complementing the vapour from his mouth as he spoke.

Though they’d never once had a conversation, only throwing glances at each other whenever he’d pass by, waiting outside your complex rendered them both used to the other by now. 

Wait, that’s right, Yu thought. He was the security guard.

‎ 

“Oh, I was just…” he pocketed his phone, “did you see Y/N this morning?”

‎ 

He took a drag of his cigarette, before leaning on the black gates.

‎ 

“Nope. Didn’t leave her apartment since yesterday.”

‎ 

Yu’s heart dropped, and his face blanched.

This worried him. This really worried him. What happened to you? Were you hurt? Did you even wake up today?! What if you…

‎ 

“What about the cameras?”

‎ 

The guard shook his head.

‎ 

“I– I need–” he caught himself and quickly fixed his collar, “thank you, sir. I’ll go check on her.”

‎ 

His mind wandered to the worst places as pushed past the gates and climbed up the flight of stairs. The guard himself hadn’t seen you since last night, and your lack of presence from the footage only made him assume the worst of the worst. And before he could assume anything else, his mind shut itself down and resorted to taking action, blocking any thoughts from forming thanks to the adrenaline that overtook his blood.

He rushed to your apartment with a spare key you gave him a while ago, brute forcing his way in as fast as possible.

But all within a picosecond, relief filled him at the sight he managed to take in.

He was beyond grateful to find out you were just in bed. Lying down, unmoving, still like a statue. The only hint of life being the subtle rise and fall of your chest. Not that you overslept, or anything, your eyes were open. You just couldn’t move, for some reason.

‎ 

You blinked, your eyes adjusting to the void of black that sat a few feet away from you. It took a few minutes to realise it was just the television, turned off, showing you your still reflection. Sitting up, you took a deep yet slow breath, allowing your stiff muscles to finally stretch.

‎ 

“I’m sorry for acting like this, Yu. I'm sorry you… missed your shift because of me.”

‎ 

Though you kept your gaze on the television, you still managed to catch his meek reaction, using the large upstanding collars of his hoodie to conceal the lower portion of his face.

…

‎ 

“Don’t… worry about it.”

‎ 

He muttered after a pause. Judging by the blank look on his face, glassy eyes locked on a random spot on the wall, he still seemed… shocked by the whole ordeal. To put it lightly. And with the purple irises, the surprise stuck out even more, his pupils pinpoint like two distant bullets aimed at you.

You brought yourself closer and pulled him into a weak embrace, sighing deeply. To say guilt enfolded you like a whirlwind would be a vast understatement. And you weren’t really sure how to express it, or how to make it up to him.

You knew that, despite how much of his personal life he kept from you, and despite how stiff his voice was, Yu was still emotionally sensitive. Incredibly sensitive, to a degree someone stoic like you wouldn’t be able to understand. And you weren’t sure how not to let something like this happen again, how not to provoke a level of shock you probably hadn’t experienced in a while.

But it only took a few minutes for an idea to pop up in your mind. It wasn’t much, but you’d rather do something.

‎ 

“Are you visiting your grandmother this month?”

‎ 

Yu blinked. It took him a few seconds to comprehend that you’d asked him a question, let alone form a response to it. Was he visiting his…

Oh, right.

‎ 

“I am.” He met your gaze. “Why?”

‎ 

“Hang on, I have something that’ll cheer you up.”

‎ 

Yu watched you stand up and disappear into your room, and such a sudden move was successful in dragging him back down to reality. He thought that you were going to take something from your closet, but the unfamiliar sound of the heavy balcony door swinging open promptly slamming shut made him perk up like a curious cat. Was he finally going to see what you kept on the balcony? Satiate the unstoppable force that was his curiosity, perhaps.

The seconds were counted until you finally made your return. And in your hand was something he never would’ve expected. A lemon. Albeit… small. And round. Yu stared at the golden object on your hand, effortlessly reflecting the sunlight off of it, almost as if to show off how pretty it was to Yu.

He stood up and approached, taking it from your hand. His thumb felt it. And judging by the soft texture, a slight tint of orange in its peel, the ever-so subtle squishiness of it; it was perfect. But that wasn't what took priority in his mind.

‎ 

“Why do– did you, uh, are there lemons on your balcony, Y/N?”

‎ 

You couldn’t help but smile at his confusion. Either he was extremely excited at that contingency being true, or he was very dumbfounded. Or, you know, both. Which was understandable, somewhat.

‎ 

“I keep a lemon tree outside. Doesn’t fit here.”

‎ 

His eyes glimmered, but the rest of his face remained blank. Yu was delighted at this news. In fact, it answered his question as to why there was a leaf still stuck to its pedicel.

‎ 

“You have… You grow lemons? In here?”‎

‎ 

“Did you think I only grew houseplants?”

‎ 

You gestured to the plant from before, and to say he was simply enamoured by this new piece of information would be a vast understatement.

If it were any other person, Yu wouldn’t have believed them. And it’s not like he was to be blamed. When he put it that way, it sounded preposterous. Growing not only lemons in the winter, but in a cramped apartment, no less. How did you achieve such a thing?!

He looked back at the fruit on his hand.

‎ 

“This one looks… different.”

‎ 

You took the lemon from him before his unrelenting inspection would tear the fragile skin open. 

‎ 

“It’s a Meyer lemon, Yu. Quite the small tree. Now come on, I’m going to make a pie with this. There's a bunch more out there, help me harvest them.”

‎ ‎ 

Then, you turned on your heel and moved towards the balcony where you’d just been.

His admiration for you only grew at that sentence. And eagerly, he followed, ready to shamelessly indulge in his lemon addiction. He was excited. So excited, the events that took place an hour ago felt like they never happened at all.

‎ 

“Meyer lemon?”

‎ 

He asked as he followed you to your room. Immediately, he glanced at the windows that would give him a view to your balcony, but they were still concealed by your curtains. And out of respect, he never really dared to peer through them even after you gave him permission to.

‎ 

“You’ll see.”

‎ 

You moved towards the balcony and opened the door, Yu tugging on his sleeves so that they’d cover his hands before the air would slam against his skin like a brick. Both of you stepped out, the cold hitting him hardly making a dent in how amazed he was at the sight.

To his right was a string of pots containing pretty trees he’d never seen before, The deep green shade of the leaves contrasted beautifully with the vibrant gold of the fruit, hanging from the branches, almost as if they were eager to be plucked and made into some sort of dessert.

‎ 

“I wanted to surprise you with a lemon pound cake. But that was before… today.”

‎ 

You mumbled to yourself as you approached what Yu considered to be a work of art. In fact, how casual you were to this sight only increased his respect for you. You grew this, he thought. All behind his back, in a small apartment, alone. How could he not be amazed?!

If this was what you could do with depression, he could only imagine how much you’d achieve if you had motivation.

‎ ‎ 

“It’s a cross between lemon and mandarin.”

‎ ‎ 

He eyed you as you plucked one ripe lemon before tossing it over to him. But you immediately regretted it once you realised he was currently in a state of reverie. However, to your surprise, he caught it impressively fast and began observing it all over again, holding back the urge to bite into it. Not that he wasn’t used to the raw taste of lemons.

‎ 

“I see. So like a… subspecies?”

‎ 

You couldn’t help but giggle at this sentence. How was that the conclusion he came to? You thought. But to be fair… it was on brand for him.

‎ 

“I thought lemons were your favourite fruit. How do you not know this?”

‎ 

The fact that they originated from China as well.

‎ 

“I never studied lemons. I only purchase what I think will help.”

‎ 

“Help?”

‎ 

Before you could utter this simple question, Yu suddenly pulled you into a hug, tightly wrapping his arms around you.

‎ 

“You’re amazing, Y/N. My grandma will love you even more when I tell her about this.”

‎ 

You were unwittingly slammed cheek-first into his chest, and the sensation was as pleasant as crashing against a brick wall. Right, Yu probably forgot what kind of figure he had.

‎ 

“Oh I… Thank you.”

‎ 

A smile painted your features, and you returned the embrace despite the aching on your cheekbone.

Relief filled you. Sure, you had to show him the surprise early, and you weren’t really satisfied with just showing him the row of trees you planted two winters ago, but after today? You were glad you made it up to him. What mattered was that this cursed day would hopefully end on a good note. And the fact that his grandmother would like you if she learned of this hobby? It stood out.

Hey, maybe things were finally looking up, you thought.

12 weeks down! 3 to go! 80% of the way there! the end is well and truly in sight! i’ve already had one of my final 2024 sessions (2025 pending score dates) and three more are coming this week, which is incredible even if i truly can’t believe how many of the kids are going right up to the week before christmas this year; also this wasn’t the case until a recent reschedule but now it seems that last week was my final seven day week. it’s happening… it’s all happening….

this week despite taking a full sick day monday, spending quite a bit of tuesday and wednesday napping, and not doing too too much work on thursday, i still somehow came in at a little over 34 hours? interesting to observe because it didn’t feel like i was cramming a lot of work in to various days… taking my tuesday sessions remotely probably helped but it’s also something to consider as i eye plans and intentions for 2025. the past couple years i’ve considered setting a goal for yearly hours worked to give myself a rough average weekly benchmark with the thinking being that doing more than the bare minimum on the weeks i could get away with doing less than 10 hours would help me stay on top of things and organized and work ahead in terms of reusable prep work (digitizing/making answer keys, writing problem sets in a way that lets me access them easily for future students so i don’t keep retracing my steps, organizing my gdrive lol) in a way that would help me feel less crazy and be actually less busy when the busy season hits. i also feel like maybe having an approximate weekly goal would help with the fact that even when i am working hardly at all i am thinking about work all the time and regularly stressed about whether i will have enough time for xyz in a way that makes it hard to devote time and mental energy to other personal goals and projects, as well as helping me set realistic goals for development work in my secondary gig when that comes up again. ANYWAY another thing i’ve been wondering about is a little every day vs. a lot on a few days a week and i sort of feel like this week suggests i may be more suited in some ways to the latter… much to ponder.

as stated above this was the week my annual november illness finally came for me, although mercifully it was much milder than in years past; i hit the symptomatic peak sunday night, spent two days mostly sleeping, and felt mostly better by thanksgiving, which was lucky because i had a very cozy thanksgiving with family early and friends late. consequently i also took the week all the way off working out even though it killed me a little to do that with 6 workouts left in my current program lol… the last time i had a cold and thought i was better earlier than i actually was i got a horrendous sinus infection which probably was not actually super related but i was feeling superstitious and disinclined to push my luck. but at this point despite some lingering sniffles i am pretty sure i’m better - the lack of a symptom flare-up at night is actually a pretty good clue now that i know about the circadian immune system thing lol - and i am in fact very excited to work out again tomorrow!

i was sort of idly thinking maybe december could be a time to get back on my habit tracking bullshit in anticipation of the new year but… i don’t think i’m there yet… but i am ready to start cleaning my room which is like the worst thing in my life right now. i would LOVE to go into my break with a reasonably tidy room instead of spending valuable break time tidying. i may even do a bit of journaling even if only because i need to test out if apple pencil journaling feels like it can be for me (i love apple pencil plannering so far so it is possible). i also do want to write at least a blurb a day or five blurbs total (ideally more but lol we’ll see) for amnesty week at tsj. work wise i keep waffling because on the one hand i’m at a point in terms of the calendar and the workload where i can probably work less than i have been and be fine - i have an actual specific list of all the things i have to do by the 22nd, including the ones that involve being prepped for the first sessions back after break, and it’s a comprehensible number of items - but the anxiety is still there, as is (1) the practical consideration that i should probably also get those lingering answer explanations up before the 23rd and (2) the fact that the manageableness of the list also suggests invitingly that if i keep up the grind another week or two i can slip into chill mode earlier even as i still have some final sessions…. i fall into this kind of trap constantly and it’s usually not true but this time feels different. well. anyway. let’s say 25-35 hours and anything in that range is good and i will play it by ear day to day. lol.

Albums of the Year 2024: Honourable Mentions

2024 – what a year for music hey?!

We had The Last Dinner Party in Spring, a well-documented BRAT Summer, a Fontaines Fall and, finally, The Cure for the Winter. We also had a couple of big reunions: the Gallagher brothers delighting everyone by reuniting Oasis, nu-metal icons Linkin Park returning with a new vocalist and then, just last month, indie darlings The Maccabees announcing some live shows for 2025. Both the Electronic and Country music genres seemed to have a particularly great year, while artists dissecting toxic relationships also seemed to be a thematic favourite over the last 12 months. We also had plenty of memorable moments and some incredible festival performances but, above all else, we had some bloody great new music.

You’ll be pleased to know that while this blog took a backseat to some other hobbies and ventures in 2024, my listening habits certainly didn’t slow down. My Apple Music Replay tells me I’ve listened to 587 albums from 983 different artists, 4,758 songs and a whopping 35,886 minutes of music. Just like previous years, I’ve whittled this mass of new music down to my favourite Albums, EPs and Songs of the Year – starting as always with the albums.

From my own (more accurate) tally that I keep every year, I’ve actually listened to 220 Albums in 2024, with that 220 then broken down into my Top 50 Albums of the Year, my 50 unranked honourable mentions and then sadly 120 albums that didn’t make the final cut. As ever, the top albums come from a multitude of genres: pop, rock, indie, hip-hop, R&B, country, electronica, shoegaze, punk, post-punk - it’s all here! So, although there is a good chance you won’t enjoy everything on this list, hopefully there is at least something for everyone.

For those who are following my annual countdown for the first time, I have a basic criterion that has treated me well over the last decade when collating my final Album of the Year list. Generally, I’ve favoured the records that:

Had the biggest impact on me

Was a landmark culturally or within the wider music world

Showed ambition or had something unique to offer

I played the most during the year

Ultimately produced my favourite front-to-back listening experience

So, before the Top 50 countdown officially begins with the albums that finished 50-41, I wanted to just shout out the albums that I thoroughly enjoyed this year but ultimately just missed out on the Top 50 spots. This includes some fantastic debuts (Been Stellar, Dolores Forever, Fat Dog, Sprints), some surprise returns to form (The Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, The Libertines), some late career highlights (Gruff Rhys, Maxïmo Park, James, Los Campesinos!) and plenty of the year’s biggest and most acclaimed projects (Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Kamasi Washington, Waxahatchee).

So, officially kicking off year-end season, here are my 50 Honourable Mentions for 2024 in alphabetical order (by artist):

Arab Strap - I'm totally fine with it 👍 don't give a fuck anymore 👍

Been Stellar - Scream From New York, NY

Beyoncé – COWBOY CARTER

Bill Ryder Jones - Iechyd Da

Billie Eilish – HIT ME HARD AND SOFT

Bring Me The Horizon - POST HUMAN: NeX GEn

With Democratic primaries beginning in just a couple of weeks from the time of writing, now feels like a good time to remind folks that participating in the electoral process does not make you complicit in genocide, nor any of the other shitty things the US is responsible for.

It may not feel like it right now, but your vote can genuinely help make things better.

So what can you do?

1) Register to vote

One of the most important things you can do at this point in time is make sure you're registered to vote, and check for your local polling place and voting times. This post goes over that pretty well.

2) Support progressive candidates during the primaries

The primaries are the time for vote for the candidates you want. It shows the Democratic Party not only that you vote, but which policies you are interested in and which way you want things to be going. For instance, if you're angry over the US' handling of the ongoing genocide and human rights violations in Palestine, support candidates who support a ceasefire and aid to Palestine.

3) Advocate for electoral reform

Goes hand in hand with the previous point. Our current electoral system not only makes it impossible for third party candidates to gain significant traction, but makes it difficult for people to vote at all. Off the top of my head, we need:

Implementation of ranked-choice voting

Abolition of the Electoral College

Automatic voter registration at age 18

Recognition of Election Day as a federal holiday

Support candidates that support these ideas, and continue to advocate for them even after elections are over.

4) Vote local!

As mentioned above, third party candidates are unable to gain significant traction; this is especially true on the national stage. This means barring severe illness or death, the winner of this year's presidential election will be either Joe Biden or Donald Trump.

As difficult as it is to promote Joe Biden right now, letting Trump win would be a thousand times worse, in no small part due to Project 2025, which aims to accelerate America's slide into full-on fascism and make things a hell of a lot worse for trans folks and other minority groups.

This is where my last point comes in: vote in state and local elections! A lot of folks have a habit of only voting for president. Voting is down-ballot races is equally important, if not more so. At these levels of government, it is much easier to make your voice heard, and much easier to effect real change.

Go out and vote when the time comes, and help make this country less shitty!

Love and Relationships: Finding Balance and Deepening Connections

In 2025, Taurus natives are likely to see significant developments in their love lives.

However, this is an opportunity to strengthen your relationship by addressing any misunderstandings and working on building trust. A deeper connection is possible, especially when both partners make a conscious effort to communicate more openly.

Career: A Year of Expansion and New Horizons

When it comes to your career, 2025 looks promising for Taurus. Jupiter's influence suggests that this year brings opportunities for growth, whether it's a promotion at work, a chance to switch to a more fulfilling job, or even the possibility of starting your own business. Taurus individuals will have the drive and determination to achieve success, but there may also be moments where patience and careful planning are required.

Saturn’s influence will push you to work hard and take on more responsibility. While these challenges might seem daunting at first, they will ultimately help you grow professionally and lead to long-term rewards.

Key Dates to Watch in 2025 for Taurus

February 2025: A powerful time for love and relationships. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, the stars align for emotional bonding and meaningful conversations.

June 2025: A period of career growth. You may receive new opportunities or recognition for your hard work. Trust your instincts and take bold steps forward.

2025 NFL Draft: Raiders Trade Up for Shedeur Sanders in Latest Top 10 Mock | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

1. QB Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss The biggest concern about Jaxson Dart's game happened to be how he'd handle top competition when Ole Miss' quarterback-friendly offense didn't provide an expansive runway. Last week's performance against the Georgia Bulldogs was supposed to be his defining movement. Instead, the 21-year-old signal-caller couldn't hold it together against the Florida Gators. "Dart started the game strong and fast," Parson said, "but his performance dwindled. He struggled to complete passes outside the numbers and down the field. His processing and field progressions were concerning as the coverage became tighter. "His decision-making with the game on the line was particularly troublesome. He threw passes into multi-defender windows, showcasing uncontrollable aggressiveness, leading to two interceptions and losing the game for his team. If things are not easily schemed up/open, Dart has not responded well."

2. Edge Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Texas A&M's Nic Scouton should be a consistent presence on a weekly basis because of his outstanding all-around skill set. That's not always the case, though. "While Texas A&M's heart-breaking loss to the Auburn Tigers didn't fall on Scourton's shoulders, he didn't help the cause," Holder said. "He was a ghost, failing to record a single tackle and didn't get much pressure as a pass-rusher. "The Purdue transfer had the potential to establish himself as the top edge defender in this year's draft class but has been rather pedestrian for the majority of the campaign." 3. CB Will Lee III, Texas A&M In Auburn's four-overtime win over the Aggies, the Tigers eclipsed 300 passing yards. Texas A&M cornerback Will Lee III showed a lot of promise early in the season, but he hasn't been the same player as of late. "Lee's draft stock is on a slight down trend due to inconsistent play and coverage lapses that have been exposed in recent games," Giddings said. "While his size (6'3", 190 lbs) and athleticism are promising, He has struggled with his transitions with off-coverage, often losing ground and giving up leverage to receivers, especially when pressed with speed. "A notable example came in the Auburn game, where he gave up a touchdown early due to these issues, leading to him being limited to under 20 snaps in that contest and none in the second half of that game. "His habit of sitting on routes and struggling to regain leverage has made him vulnerable to bigger plays, and his hand-usage in press coverage has been too aggressive, sometimes resulting in penalties. "Although Lee's physical traits and tackling ability are strong, these coverage inconsistencies and mental lapses are raising questions about his readiness for the NFL, leading to concerns about his development at the next level." 4. OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas Josh Simmons' season-ending leg injury opened the door for another prospect to secure the mantle as the 2025 class' OT1. Texas' Kelvin Banks Jr. was the obvious option. He's failed to do so, though. "Banks has maintained a solid level of play over the last couple of weeks but has recurring balance and re-leveraging issues after initially getting overextended that has led to him falling off of a couple of blocks a game against slippery defenders," Thorn said. "These typically occur on angle-drive blocks on the frontside when he has to navigate space before contact and defenders are able to shift prior to contact. This changes the aiming points and Banks doesn't always adjust well to a shifting target causing him to lean and then lose control when defenders sidestep, creating soft edges. This is also something that occurs in pass protection and is one of the primary reasons why many evaluators have mentioned Banks being a best fit at guard at the NFL level. "Banks is executing his job at a fairly high level this year. Upon deeper inspection, these issues remain a concern when projecting to him dealing with NFL defenders." 5. QB Jalen Milroe, Alabama Jalen Milroe's draft stock may be the most volatile of any prospect in recent memory. He looked phenomenal against the Georgia Bulldogs and LSU Tigers. Yet the Crimson Tide QB played poorly against the Tennessee Titans and Oklahoma Sooners. Which version is going to show up at the next level? "Milroe continues to be a roller-coaster ride of quarterback play," Parson said. "Against Oklahoma, he threw three interceptions and zero touchdowns. His explosive running ability was contained, and, without it, he was ineffective in throwing the football from the pocket. "Milroe's 2024 season has been nothing more than a flash of passing ability and inconsistency from the pocket. He has some tremendous traits. But he's a high-risk option."

Top 4 Reasons to Increase SIP Investments in 2025

As we move into 2025, it’s the perfect time to take a fresh look at your investments. For many of us, Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) are the go-to way to build wealth steadily and achieve our dreams. But did you know that simply increasing your SIP amount each year can make a huge difference in how fast you reach your goals?

Here are the top 4 reasons why 2025 could be the year to give your SIPs a boost.

1. Speeds up your investment journey

Whether it’s buying your dream home, saving for your child’s education, or retiring early, increasing your SIPs can help you get there faster.

Imagine you’re saving ₹50 lakhs over 15 years. If you stick to the same SIP amount, it might take longer, especially if market returns fluctuate. By increasing your SIP amount, even slightly, you can build a bigger cushion and stay ahead of any bumps in the road.

2. Helps beat inflation

The earlier and more you invest, the better compounding works for you. When you increase your SIP amount, the extra money you put in starts earning returns, and those returns generate more returns.

For example, adding just ₹2,000 more to your SIP every month can create a much bigger corpus over 10–15 years. A small step today can make a huge difference in the future.

3. Let compounding work its magic

As your salary or business income grows, it’s tempting to spend more on luxuries. But increasing your SIP contribution ensures that a portion of your income goes toward building wealth instead.

This habit keeps your financial plan on track and helps you avoid lifestyle inflation. Plus, it creates a healthy routine of reviewing and updating your investment strategy.

4. Make smart use of your growing income

As your salary or business income grows, it’s tempting to spend more on luxuries. But increasing your SIP contribution ensures that a portion of your income goes toward building wealth instead.

This habit keeps your financial plan on track and helps you avoid lifestyle inflation. Plus, it creates a healthy routine of reviewing and updating your investment strategy.

How Do You Decide the Value of an SIP Increase Each Year?

Deciding how much to increase your SIP depends on a few key factors:

Income growth: Did your salary or earnings grow by 10%? If yes, consider increasing your SIP by a similar percentage.

Financial goals: Are you on track to meet your goals? If not, use a calculator to figure out how much more you need to invest.

Account for inflation: Add a little extra to cover rising costs and keep your money’s value intact.

Stay comfortable: Ensure the increase doesn’t strain your monthly budget. Balance is key—you still need liquidity for emergencies.

4 Tips Before Increasing Your SIP

Boosting your SIP is a great idea, but here are some things to keep in mind:

Diversify your investmentsDon’t put all your increased SIP amount into one mutual fund or asset class. Spread it across different funds, like equity, debt, and hybrid funds, to reduce risk and maximize returns.

Know your risk toleranceIf your existing SIPs are in high-risk funds, think about whether you’re comfortable adding more to those. You can also allocate the extra SIP amount to safer options for balance.

Check your mutual fund’s performanceBefore putting in more money, review how well your mutual funds are performing. If a fund hasn’t been delivering good returns, consider redirecting the additional SIP amount to a better-performing one.

Be thoughtful and consistentDon’t rush to increase your SIP amount without proper planning. Take time to review your financial situation and goals. A well-thought-out decision will benefit you in the long run.

Conclusion

Increasing your SIP investments in 2025 is one of the smartest ways to grow your wealth. It helps you reach your goals faster, protects your savings from inflation, and amplifies the power of compounding. Plus, it keeps you disciplined and ensures you’re making the best use of your income.

When planning to boost your SIPs, remember to diversify, check fund performance, and align your decisions with your comfort level. If you’re unsure how to go about it, Finchikitsak Wealth Management, Kharadi is here to provide expert guidance and personalized solutions tailored to your financial goals.
