2026

I started last year with a little quote,

A happy little side note,

"Positive vibes for 2025"

But between my degenerative disability and a lot of mental health struggles,

If I'm honest,

I'm just glad I made it out of 2025 still alive.

It's amazing what a variation a year can be,

From happy, positive vibes to breaking mentally.

You never truly know what kind of year it'll be .

2026 I'm not planning a life fix,

Or a mental overhaul,

Or A new me,

I don’t have those kind of magic tricks.

I have the life I have,

But this year I plan to live it.

I'll try to do my best,

Smile when I can,

Laugh when I can,

Succeed when I can.

I plan to live smart.

I'm gonna love hard.

Grab my good days and for sure I'm gonna make them last.

2026 I'll still be the same me,

A little damaged,

A little cheeky,

Probably in pain,

But still smiling,

I'll still be happy,

Still be fighting.

Still be making noise when the mental health wants me quiet.

I'll definitely trip along the way,

I know that,

I'm not invincible

But I'll get back up.

I'll keep that fire that burning me,

Even when it's just a flicker.

I can’t tell you what this year holds,

No one really can,

It's only the beginning of 2026.

No matter what happens this year,

It's still my life and I'll do my best to live it!

2026
