As one year comes to an end and a new one begins, I find myself pausing to reflect. If you had the chance to say something to your future self to the version of you in 2025 and 2026, what would it be?
Looking back, I want to thank myself for how much I pushed through this past year:
For finding a job I genuinely value, even after going through a long period of stress and fear of unemployment
For speaking up and sharing my own perspectives at work
For choosing action over just talking
For walking away from toxic and unnecessary work relationships
For daring to learn new things outside my original field of study
For letting go of some comforts and entertainment to focus more on my health
