It's been such a mixed bag for me so far. The first half was pretty bad. Had an awful, stressful job that took up too much headspace and time. Worsened by the short, cold days. Then got fired from it which derailed my saving plans for a month and made me feel terrible about myself.
Second half, however, has been going the opposite way. Much better! I bounced back quite quickly. Now I've got two jobs, both of which I feel much better about, and feel much better about my place in them (shocking! having a defined role and duties makes you better at your job, rather than being flipped around all over the place, who knew?). I had an amazing family holiday, the weather is better, and I'm almost ready to head out to travel the world for over a year in 2026

So much to look forward to!
Obviously world events have been terrible, but if I let them dictate my life I'd just get crushed and experience no joy.
