2025 outtakes π¬ ended one era π©·β‘οΈπ€ started another - pt 2!
Mightβve lived life a little too hard in 2025 π maybe thatβs also evident from this taking me 2 weeks into 2026 to put together π but Iβve put a lot of thought into reviewing last year and starting this one. Social media tends to be folksβ highlight reel but since this yearβs had some polar highs and lows I thought it would be fitting and helpful to me to explore / reflect on my own highs and lows!
2025βs Highs:
1. Gagachella for my 30th!
2. Co-curating the Born This Way Exhibition
3. Made $3k from solely art in May!
4. Beautiful days / nights with friends not even pictured here bc itβs too much to fit in one post π€ but yall know who u r
5. Meeting the insanely talented people I never thought Iβd get to meet pictured in this post!
2025βs Lows:
1. Car totaled on Halloween :β(
2. Financial insecurity
3. Health issues (but also healed from some!)
4. Controversy / injustice surrounding work / art
5. Special occasions that didnβt go as planned
Some of you know I choose words of the year and the past few have been a bit melded / multi-themed. I think βhealingβ has a been pretty central word Iβve tacked onto the past two years, and within themβ 2024βs words were reckoning / retribution, 2025βs was justice and for 2026 Iβm stuck between reward / abundanceβ¦by comparison I think that means itβs gonna be a good year π
