Anyone else feeling a bit off today? Reflecting on 2025 I feel I haven’t really achieved anything career wise and have a very small circle of friends (majority of them being back in the UK and I live abroad) so feeling a lil lonely.

I think that’s actually really common. This time of year can be hard for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. Take care of yourself and I hope you have a good year ahead of you ❤️

New years blues 💙 common feeling of holding ourselves to unrealistic expectations! Not every year will be a knock out—and that’s just ok. I try and focus on being grateful for the things I do have (food on the table, the house I share with my husband, my health, my family.) Just know that you aren’t alone in this feeling. There are still good things to come 🥰

This is normal! Just know that not every year needs to be special and you’re doing your thing. It’s okay not to have life changing developments

& also just wanted to add everyone’s posting these dumps online where they’ve chosen to show certain aspects/moments of their lives, social media doesn’t show everything- but a lot of these people will be feeling the same way!!

I've tried to change my mindset on what "accomplishments" to be proud of. It doesn't have to be career achievements or getting a promotion or buying a house or any material things like that. For example in 2025 I'm proud that I spoke up in a work meeting where I felt something wrong was happening and that I set boundaries with my family to protect my mental health. The things you "achieved" don't have to be the typical markers of success.
