2025 is here! I hope you all are having a wonderful start to the new year. To kick this year off right, I wanted to share some quotes that resonated with me leading into this year. I want to carry a lot of these messages into the new year. I hope they resonate with you as well.

Anything I read by James Baldwin will always be powerful, but his words on love and hope always inspire me. Love is at the core of how I want to live my life.

I’ve shared this quote before in this newsletter, but this one is worth sharing again. This was one of the lessons I had to learn in 2024 and I hope to carry it with me throughout my life.

I love this quote!! The world around me may suck sometimes, especially this time of year, but I have light and love inside that will keep me going through it all.

For the longest time, I was so hard on myself for not reaching goals or performing perfectly. But it only made me feel worse. Now that I show myself grace and love, I feel much better and I’m improving.

This quote reminds me not to let another year pass by where I don’t take the opportunity to live. 2024 was a year of healing and growing for me, but I want 2025 to be the year that I take what I learned to live a life that I love.

Yes. I have nothing to add here. But, yes.

I woke up on January 1st and decided it’s going to be a year of being SO back. And also the realization that I can choose to be back whenever I want. I can start over whenever I want to.

I used to think it was so annoying when people would say just give it time and you’ll be okay. I fear now that my frontal lobe has developed, it’s actually true. Be patient, things will change.

Last quote to share with you all, and it was an important lesson for me. I spent so much time being mad at myself for the person I have been and not enough time getting excited about the person I will be. In 2025, I’m not looking back anymore, I’m looking ahead to what is next.

See ya! 

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you next week!
