Cya 2025, Hola 2026
2025 Recap
You plan life a certain way, and then life plans you :) - I think that would be my theme for 2025.
We have successfully completed another revolution around the sun. Hola 2026!!
Time seems to be moving faster and faster with every birthday I cross. I’d once heard someone say “the days feel longer and the years feel shorter as time goes by“ and I think I can relate….
As usual 2025 has been a crazy year too in more ways than one! :). One of them being that I’ve sat in 30 airplanes in 5 months - a personal record for the year and my life thus far. Don’t ask me why or how please.
Highlight reel from 2025:
Life updates:
I still continue the 2 good habits that I started in 2024:
Maintaining a dream journal
Writing in my “What did I learn in life this week” journal
Even though I haven’t dug deep yet to notice patterns, I think with the boom of AI I can feed the contents to a LLM in a few years to extract insights from it :)
2025 theme of “What did I learn in life this week” journal :
The invisible force carries us through (if we let it)
Health is wealth
Being in a state of gratitude is a win-win situation
Change of state is VERY hard
Continuous short travels causes a weird sense of non-belonging and confusion in the brain
Validation is like a drug
Intensity and conviction matter
Silence is uncomfortable, hence most people fill it up with unnecessary words
From dust to dust…
Conscious non-doing takes a LOT of effort and energy
Every exit is an entry somewhere else
“Manual“ before automation
Clean gut = clean and clear mind
Life is sturdy and fragile at the same time
Cool moments from 2025:
Going to Maha Kumbh and Benares (no words to express this)
Doing this 13-ish mile hike that I had been attempting unsuccessfully for years - the Franconia Ridge loop
Seeing the Northern Lights at home!
One of my murals going a few blocks off Broadway to NY
Getting a 2nd ear piercing-wohoo! (NEVER had I ever thought I’d get another one)
What’s next in 2026:
Going to keep it stupid simple and lean here.
Focus on ‘JUST DO IT’ and ignore perfection in all areas of life
Break the rhythm - not sure how or what but need to break certain moulds
Being on time - I want to actively be 5 min ahead of time everywhere since I struggle with this
Doing a little bit more art. I barely got much done in 2025
Lastly thank you to all my forever peeps who always cheer for me and send invisible good juju my way!!! I am only here and still writing thanks to all your wishes :) !!
Final ask. Here’s the feedback form - https://forms.gle/9ayZe5U44HRsytMr8. As always I'm trying to become the best version of myself (SuperPri) in life so if you have a comment please share!
Blast from the Past Years:
Happy New Year and hope your 2026 has started with a bang!!
