Reflections on 2025
As the second half of 2025 approaches, these small moments form a gentle record of everyday happiness, exhaustion, and gratitude.
From poetry books and favorite songs to family meals, donuts, and personal milestones, this reflection captures emotions that feel ordinary yet deeply meaningful.
Looking back at 2025 with honesty and warmth, this is a quiet wish to carry joy forward into a new version of 2026.
Reading, Poetry, and Small Personal Goals
The second half of 2025 is coming, and looking back, I realize this was my best effort. Reading too much might overload my brain, but poetry always feels just right.
My New Year’s goal is to read twenty poetry books in two months. I love poetry because it is concise and gently organizes emotions, unlike novels that often feel long and heavy.
Finding Comfort in Lines Rather Than Chapters
While finishing a whole book is satisfying, I enjoy savoring individual lines even more. Browsing poetic phrases on Pinterest often makes time disappear for hours.
Maybe that is why poetry fits me so well right now.
Music, Birthdays, and Everyday Happiness
If I had to choose one song from 2025 that stayed with me, it would be Tokyovania. I listened to it endlessly, and it still feels like a masterpiece.
Birthday gifts are arriving one by one, and small joys keep stacking up. I enjoyed the Olive Young Black Friday sale a little too much and ended up spending 100,000 won.
Home-Cooked Meals and Sweet Habits
My mom packed a lunch for me, and it was incredibly delicious. Being a student who gets to enjoy home-cooked meals at school feels like a privilege.
She also keeps bringing home Krispy Kreme donuts. I do not know why, but I have been eating them almost every week. At this point, I think I could date them.
Exams, Food, and Emotional Releases
This exam period was truly hell, but I am genuinely proud of myself for getting through it.
I also visited the restaurant Sikong, and everything there was delicious and beautiful. Moments like that make daily life feel lighter.
Right now, I am simply happy and wish I could live like this for a long time.
Stories, Adaptations, and Lingering Curiosity
Since Oseisa was released in Korean, I was excited after watching the Japanese version more than three times.
Although the leads did not perfectly match their original roles, I found myself surprisingly immersed. The Korean adaptation felt romantic in a different way.
I am already looking forward to the Chinese version, and even the American one.
Letters, Connections, and Quiet Meaning
I think I have grown fond of exchanging letters with Sua every month. It has become something meaningful for both of us.
These small connections quietly support life more than I ever expected.
Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026
2025 feels like it is slowly coming to an end.
I am looking forward to the new look of 2026, hoping it brings gentler days.
May we all be truly happy.
