My Hopes For 2025

  I am definitely having some jitters about leaving my job. I am so excited for the freedom, but a part of me is really going to miss my apartment and New York. Living here has been such a dream. This is the first apartment I have truly loved and felt like home in. I love the beat and pulse of New York City (what a cliche, right?). But I am so heartbroken at having to leave my apartment. I even thought about renegotiating my contract with my current job and went through the entire process of creating a plan to possibly stay in my current position. But a part of me knows that is not the right step. Sure, I'll get to stay in my apartment and continue my life here, but there is no growth in that. I have to accept the fact that I am stagnant in this job and there will be no opportunities to grow as both a professional and a person. This job is suffocating me and I am unable to live my life because of it. Hell, I haven't even gone on a date in over 5 years. I don't even look pre...

Let's Never Look Back Again

 


I got a new MacBook Air this week. This is my first time having a real laptop since like... 2019? I've had this Chromebook I've been using on top of my iMac desktop, but it doesn't beat the ease of having an Apple laptop. 

As I was setting up my MacBook, planning out my goals for 2024, and thinking hard about whether the locums lifestyle is for me (more to come on that later) - I stumbled upon my old blog from back in 2014 when I was in third-year of medical school. First off, I'm very impressed at my old self for blogging so frequently back in the day. This was in the height of YouTube and beauty influencers, so of course everything is makeup content. So many old makeup products that I miss! Second, I am so shocked at the tone of my posts. If you read this blog, half the posts are about misery and depression and my battle through all that over the past 4-5 years. My old blog radiates such positivity, enthusiasm, and hope. I want to really go back to that. It's so funny because in the past couple months I've been going back to experimenting with makeup so this timing could not be more coincidental. 

I've changed the name of this blog to something that sparks more positivity and joy. Wanderlust. Something I'm really looking forward to in the upcoming 2-3 years of my life. I just want to travel, explore the world, and find myself again. Find that part of my life that gives me happiness, joy, hope, optimism, and reason to keep fighting. I also went back and "drafted" a lot of my more dreary posts. No more of that. Let's look forward to more optimism, joy, and hope in 2024 and 2025. 

More edits to come on the blog later. Maybe a theme refresh? And a nifty travel bucket list.
