Every year, I set goals. And every year… I don’t quite get there.
Not because I don’t want it enough. Not because I don’t care. But because life gets loud, priorities shift, and somewhere between intention and execution, I drop the thread.
But this year—this coming year—I want things to be different. Not louder. Not bigger. Just… steadier. Kinder. More intentional. I want habits that fit my life rather than swallow it whole.
So here we are, December 31, 2025, and I’m writing this down so Future Me has both a promise and a reminder. (Future Me, if you’re reading this, hi. I hope you’re smiling. And if not, that’s okay—we start again.)
So what are my resolutions for 2026?
- Write Daily
Not 10,000 words. Not an impossible schedule.
Just show up every day.
Some days that might mean a scene. Some days it might be a paragraph. Some days it might simply be giving myself permission to open the document and reconnect with the story. I’ve spent past years trying to sprint. This year, I’m choosing consistency over intensity. Because small steps add up. Because creativity isn’t a punishment. And because stories deserve to be written with love, not guilt.
- Blog Monthly
Not weekly, maybe once every three weeks to once a month—intentionally, meaningfully.
I want my blog to be a place that feels alive, not like a chore I remember only when I’m too tired to do it justice. Once a month feels achievable and sustainable. I want to talk writing, books, creativity, life, the messy bits, the magical bits—whatever feels worth sharing. If there’s something you’d love me to write about, tell me. Let’s make it a conversation instead of a monologue.
- Read More
Reading fills the creative well. It reminds me why I fell in love with stories in the first place. I want to read for joy, for comfort, for curiosity, for learning—without guilt, without pressure, without turning it into another checkbox task. Just me, stories, and the quiet magic of turning pages.
So that’s it. Simple. Honest. Achievable.
Nothing flashy. Nothing dramatic. Just commitments grounded in who I am and who I’d like to become.
Here’s to 2026 being the year of doing the thing.
Here’s to words written, blogs posted, books read.
Here’s to growth that feels sustainable.
Here’s to showing up.
And yes—Future Me, please come back and read this. I hope we did ourselves proud. If not? We’ll try again.
I am over the moon to announce that I’ll be co-writing a story with my bestie
