"2025" The Year Tears Taught Me to Love Myself

If you ask how many times you cried this year...The answer is "countless." 🌊

2025 is a heavy year in many ways, with tears of pressure, fatigue, sometimes just the feeling that

"We're not good enough," but look back today...It is these tears that wash away the frustration of our hearts and make us see

"What really matters" in life?

✨ This year teaches that:

• Crying is not weakness, it is "draining" so that we can move on.

• You don't have to be good all the time. Just be happy in your own way.

• Thank you for all the tearful events because it makes us much stronger today.

No matter how many liters of tears you have lost this year, I want to say that you have been very good at this point. Hold yourself tightly and leave your sadness this year to start the new year with a lighter heart. 🤍✨

Anyone who has been through a lot of hard stuff this year too, come to comment ❤️ to encourage each other here, or anyone who has their own way to share it.

The 800 credit score I lost and what it taught me🍋
