It's been a while since I rambled out my thoughts and feeling here, I figured it was time.


This fall and winter have been quite mentally draining, but I only discovered these past few weeks how tired I really am and have been. At the same time I feel so greatful for my life at the moment. I feel hopeful (without jinxing anything) that 2026 will be the year where the entire family can finally relax and recover from everything that's happened over the past couple of years, because there really has just been one thing after another.

Some things I'm grateful and excited for in 2026

● In late July last year I found my way back to a hobby/sport I haven't practised in 8 years. I've taken riding lessons 1-2 times a week now since then and I truly love it, it's such a mental relief to go every week and spend some time in the stable together with people I don't normally meet. I also feel very passionately about volunteering with events and all kinds of things, and I hope I'll have time to do more of that this year!

● Other than the stable I feel like I finally have a fun and sustainable workout routine, including riding lessons, the gym and swimming. My body feels stronger and better than it has in a long time, I just need to work on rehabilitation and mobility as well then I'll be unstoppable!

● My lovely boyfriend. It's so incredibly corny but he really is such a safe and solid point when my brain has been going a million miles an hour and when I've been overwhelmed (hello undiagnosed adhd). I'm so excited for him and proud that he's going back to school and doing something he really enjoys. And while it's definitely too early to celebrate, we'll hopefully be moving to a bigger/better apartment this spring (!!!).

● As I mentioned, our family hasn't had the best luck in life. Or rather, life has just happened a lot at once, as it tends to do. So in 2026 I'm soooo excited for us all to be able to finish processing everything, and hopefully we'll spend the year being happy, healthy and well rested. Both mentally and physically. 
 

I don't have any big trips or plans for this year, and I've decided to spread out my vacation days over the entire year. So my goal for this year is simply to enjoy life as it is, no matter how big or small the event is. I look forward to eating as many ice creams as I want this summer, going on evening swims, just living life and doing whatever I want without the pressure of having to make this year "grand". Again, it's incredibly corny, but a corny life might just be the key to a happy life....
