#8 How to evaluate your year
This is a feeling a lot of people share, where they feel that time just passes them by, and it's not because it's true, it's because they never took the time to reflect on any of it. Did time pass them by? Did they make any mistakes? What went right? What made them happy? Because "Life is lived in the present, but understood in the past."
So at the end of each year, or in my case the middle of January, these are the few questions I look to answer and I hope they help you too

#7 How I stopped doomscrolling
“You Are What You Consume”
This quote is annoyingly true.
It applies to everything, the food we eat, the media we consume, the books we read, the people we spend our time with.

#6 I hate changing routines
"Life is like a TV show, and you're just in season 10." March was a blur of healing & change, but every season tells a story!

#5 Moved by authenticity
March is flying by, but small wins matter. Adulthood feels unstructured, but embracing progress and authenticity makes it all worthwhile.

![🧿A partial ACL tear, a torn meniscus, and runner’s knee, all at once. I went from being someone who moved every single day to someone who couldn’t get off the bed for two months.
But the hardest part of a torn knee isn’t just the physical pain, it’s the mental agony of watching the life you love being taken away. The idea of ever trusting my body on a bouldering wall, or feeling the rush of a stage performance again, felt entirely out of reach.
No surgery. Just months of slow, boring, consistent rehab with my physio. Doing the exact same exercises every single day, even when it felt pointless, constantly battling the mental hurdle of feeling fragile. Some days the progress was invisible. Most days I wanted to quit. But I kept showing up, one rep, one step, one small win at a time.
Reclaiming my movement wasn’t a straight line. I’m still figuring it out, and my knee still reminds me it’s there. But 1.5 years later, I can dance, climb, hike, and move more freely, sometimes with fear, but I move. And that freedom makes every unglamorous rehab session worth it.
Life hasn’t gone back to the old “normal.” Maybe it never fully will. But I’m not giving up on this body that’s carried me through, and I’m not giving up on building a new normal.
If you’re in the middle of your own messy comeback right now, physical or not, this is your sign to keep going. ❤️
