I’ve always been someone who pushes myself too hard. Working under constant pressure and unrealistic standards, often my own harshest critic. (Is it obvious I’m a Capricorn?)

This year forced me to pause.

2025 was quieter, slower, and more honest than I expected.

Hope everyone has a safe New Year’s Eve!

bullet/ junk journal ideas 💡 I read somewhere to just make a journal and fill it with everything and anything you can think of. Sometimes I just write a journal entry, other times I'm just doodling, most times I'm adding stickers. Don't think about it too much, just make it yours.
