this year has been a year of uncomfortable growth. a very big spotlight has been shined on all the ways i am holding myself back, all the ways i doubt myself, and also all the things i love and feel immense shame about. i genuinely think i am improving, definitely slower in some things than in others, but i am in a better situation than the beginning of the year. i was trying to think of character development things that could happen to me at the beginning of the year and i genuinely never thought it would be this, mostly because i couldn’t think of how i even could evolve! but slay for 2025 character growth.
