I thought I would be doing more conventions and events this year, but instead the year took a very different shape. A lot happened, and at the same time it felt like not much happened at all. Health played a bigger role than I anticipated, progress happened quietly, and I was forced to slow down in ways I didn’t plan for.
This year-in-review is more reflective than usual. Some things are intentionally kept private, but I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the year honestly—what changed, what didn’t, and what I’m carrying forward into 2026.
