A few days ago, here in France, a little girl ended her life because she was bullied at school. Everyone is condemning it. And they should.

But let’s stop lying to ourselves.

We live in a world where a massive bully is given a microphone every single day.
On every TV channel.
Spreading hate, contempt, humiliation and giving small bullies a perfect excuse to do the same.

And somehow, that’s acceptable.

No one has the guts to shut him off.
No one wants to take responsibility.
The media keeps feeding the fire, then pretends to be shocked when children commit suicide because of bullies.

This is not the example we should allow to be broadcast.
This is not the society we should normalize.

I’m beyond angry.
I’m beyond sad.
I’m absolutely disgusted by this whole sh*t.

And pretending it’s “just words” is exactly how people die.

You weren’t the best year. You weren’t the worst either. You were… complicated.

Here’s what you’re leaving behind:

⬆️ A personal project that brought me real joy - the kind that reminds you why you create
⬇️ I didn’t take care of myself the way I should have
⬇️ I was often exhausted, angry, impatient. I snapped too fast, yelled more than I ever wanted to. I wasn’t the father I aspire to be - and admitting that matters
⬆️ In spring, I saw old friends, and my grandma met podiBoy for the first time… and the last
⬇️ I lost my grandma this fall
⬇️ Had some difficult moments with podiGirl
⬆️ Had a lot of crazy smiles and beautiful moments with podiMom, podiGirl and podiBoy. I love them so much…
⬇️ No real holiday this year - just running, surviving
⬇️ Not enough time spent with my family, even though they’re everything. Too much screen time instead of good time. This just change.
⬆️ I reunited with all my cousins - sadly for a funeral, but together nonetheless
⬆️ I bought a Japanese food box from a Tokyo entrepreneur. It might sound small, but it meant a lot to me. I love Japan, and everything connected to it
⬆️ I got a Ninja BBQ ♥️
⬆️ I bought a CampSnap and a CampSnap Pro - I love taking photos without screens stealing the moment
⬆️ I joined an African drums class and met genuinely wonderful people
⬇️ My dad faced heart issues, and by the end of the year, problems that made walking very difficult
⬆️ I’m back to planning on paper. Trying to stick to it.

2025 was heavy.
But it was also honest.
It showed me where I failed, where I loved deeply, and where I still need to grow.

I’m walking into the next year with less noise, more intention - and the hope to be softer with myself and better for the people I love.

Goodbye, 2025.
You taught me more than I expected.
