This year, my New Year’s resolution is simple: write a journal entry every day, for 365 days of the year. I decided to keep my resolutions short this year, so I can avoid the overwhelming panic and pressure I feel when I realize that it’s the end of the year and I’ve accomplished none of my goals.
So for 2025, the goal is one and one thing only: journal everyday.
My journal is a time capsule, a record of my life, proof of my existence in an unimaginably vast universe. Looking back at my old entries it feels as if I’m reliving my past, and seeing my life written out in pages and pages of my emotions, thoughts, and experiences, is exhilarating to see.
I want to leave my mark on the world— I want proof that I’ve lived.
