Can you believe its almost 2026 thats crazy right?? (you laugh)

The smart thing to do with this sort of thing is to actually write it before the day you would actually want to upload it. Unfortunately for me and my incredible time planning skills, there’s a little less than 120 seconds to go until it reaches new years day.

So its a bit late for that.

So 2025 huh??? It was a year, certainly one of the years of all time. Not BAD per se, just a bit — nothing. I guess? I don’t know I don’t have the brain capacity to analyse an entire year of my life in a moment. What I do know is how much these people love their bloody fireworks. Jesus Christ, its been 5 minutes now and they’re still going. (They’re not bloody cheap either where are you acquiring the funds.)*

I cant judge they’re probably having a better time than me, sitting here writing a blog post.

They’re quite beautiful, actually. I could just about see the corners of them when I stuck my head out the window. I used to go to fireworks shows a lot as a kid, until I started refusing because they were too loud. Even back then though I could mostly appreciate the colours and the way they explode into a million tiny little pieces with a colourful fury. This is probably just a me thing but I always wanted to catch one of the falling bits of ash, as a keepsake (please don’t ask I have no idea why I was so dead set on this), probably best that never happened. It also felt like I was being bombed and then being bombed within the bomb in my head, so I guess some things don’t change.

ANYWAY back to 2025!!!! Honestly wish I had more to say. Summer was good I think. I made some new friends… before they all pissed off back to their various unis :(. Winter sucks but it literally always does people who like winter are LYING. Yeah that’s it I have nothing else to say sorry.

SOOOO... What’s in store for 2026?

Spoiler alert: it all sucks.

The big one is uni (imagine me doing a massive long drawn out sigh) and A-levels (ok now imagine a longer sigh). Well at least that’s not until later in the year... If you ignore the exam I have in the first 2 WEEKS BACK AT COLLEGE KILL ME AS A MERCY.

I’m being dramatic, in some way I’m looking forward to uni. Its basically a chance to re-do college, which admittedly hasn’t been too great so far, I’m going to sooooo many clubs this time and NO ONE can stop me. Not looking forward to the a-levels at all though not in the slightest there are no positives to that one.

I have goals I guess. A lot of them I’ve even achieved before the new year, my late 2025 phone cut-down is still famous to me. Unfortunately the issue with a PHONE cut-down is that it has the unintended consequence of spending my whole ass life on my laptop, which is only marginally more productive. So I guess I wanna cut down that screen time too. I should make more time for my hobbies, the main like 4 are all things I do on a screen though… its ok its productive screen time if I’m like — writing. I should go outside more. I made it a point I should try and go to a charity shop every week like 4 weeks ago. It lasted for one day and fell apart the next week but it was a good idea. Maybe I’ll make that a thing, the new years as good a time as any to start.

I also wanna start blogging more, you probably know this because it’ll be the only link or the bottom one but this is actually my first ever post? Article? Entry? Into the world of blogging. So I apologise if its very rough around the edges, but also not really fuck you this is MY blog don’t tell me what to do. I’m not entirely sure what I want this to be right now. But I’m thinking of setting the goal of one post? Article? Entry? Every month. Which should be doable if I’m not an idiot.

Unfortunately I very much AM an idiot, so no promises. But more importantly, HAPPY NEW YEAR, I hope its great for the both of us. And I wish you luck in your internet and real-life travels!!
