Finally getting around to realizing 2025 is my over. 12 flights, 19 theater shows, 3 countries, a lot of new friends, a couple of friends lost, a new sense of self confidence, and a whole lot like love and loss later, I thank God for an amazing year of self discovery. Before my life was like a square box with only one door that I was allowed to open, a safe door. A door to a room that I was expected to be in, but in 2025 I dared to look for more and I found that there are so many more doors to open if I just took the chance. I am now discovering doors left and right, up and down. Everyday I see a new door, I feel new emotions, and I remember just how far I have come from being that young teenager who felt as though her only door was all she was ever going to know. Thank you to everyone who made 2025 one of the best years of my life. This has been a year of learning what it truly means to be free. I pray that 2026 has great things in store for me. God is within her, she will not fall
