2025 Resolutions: Living Life on My Terms

Welcome, 2025! A new year means new beginnings, and like clockwork, it’s time to jot down resolutions. But let’s be real—how many times have we written the usual suspects? Lose weight, save more money, work harder… been there, done that.

This year, I’m doing things differently.

Instead of chasing a checklist of “shoulds,” 2025 is about me. What I want, what I desire, and—most importantly—what makes me feel alive. For too long, I’ve been stuck in a cycle of saving money, working tirelessly, and following a blueprint of what I thought was the “right” way to live. It’s exhausting, and honestly, it hasn’t been fulfilling.

So, this year, I’m flipping the script.

I want to embrace life, savor every moment, and focus on the things that truly light me up. I want to travel to places I’ve never been, meet people who inspire me, and create memories I’ll cherish forever. No more overthinking every decision, no more letting fear hold me back.

For the first time, I’m giving myself permission to live unapologetically and wholeheartedly.

Does this mean throwing all responsibilities out the window? Of course not. But it does mean balancing practicality with joy—learning to prioritize experiences that make me happy over ones that only check off societal boxes.

This year is about reclaiming my time, energy, and happiness. No more putting off the things I want to do. No more letting fear or doubt dictate my choices.

For the first time in forever, I’ll be living life the way I want to.
