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.
