450s

belated Moo-ey Christmas and a very Happy Moo Year! 🥰🐮

my 2025 was a year of so many endings and new beginnings. some friendships faded or flickered out, others roared into an inferno that still keeps me warm. i left a long-term job and started a new one. i outgrew my car and bought a new one to grow into.

my relationship with my body has been overwhelmingly positive for a while now, but i’ve never been so comfortable in my own skin. it’s no longer agonizing, being known. the more i lean into myself, the brighter the world around me seems.

i’m almost a bit distraught when looking back; this page covers my entire adult life, and i’m pretty sure this is the first year on record where nothing crazy happened (knock on wood). i don’t know how to feel about it. i am very well-aware that much of my past struggles have been the product of my own poor choices.

i’m certainly not perfect and never will be, but i’m finding it so much easier at this stage in my life to choose things that fill my cup. i’m finding that giving myself and my loved ones grace has become second nature. i’m finding it easier to tolerate discomfort and maintain my boundaries, and i feel as though i have been flourishing as a result of that.

i know these aren’t the typical things people express at the new year, but this form of growth is what i’m truly the most proud of. yeah it’s hot as fuck that i’m finally 450 and only continuing to grow, but that’s just the vessel i’ve chosen for myself in this life. it’s not everything, though i am incredibly blessed to experience the world as softly as i do.

thank you to everyone that has been a part of the journey so far. 2026 is looking like it’ll be even better somehow, and i can’t wait to continue sharing this large and lovely life with such an amazing community. y’all are why i’m like this, and i couldn’t have achieved so many of my dreams without your support 💛

all my love,
Nara
