What a mental year 2025 has been.
Dealing with grief, injuries from multiple accidents in a row, unemployment for over 6 months, applying for a visa, school assessments, the pressure of flying back to Taiwan then back to Melbourne in less than 11 days while sorting out all endless admin chores, getting kicked out of the place I'd lived in for 8 months, and doing whatever I could to secure a new home right before Christmas...man there were times I wondered why I even try.
A few times a week I'd burst into tears when no one was watching, then put on a smile like nothing happened. For a while I thought I was losing my mind. I almost gave in because it was all too much and I didn't think I would make it.
But I kept going, and I'm glad I did. I made friends with so many inspiring and beautiful people along the way, and I had wild opportunities to shoot bigger bands I'd never dreamt of shooting. I wouldn't have made this far without that one comment, one message, one phone call, or one visit from each one of you. Thank you all for showing up and believing in me.
I'd like to think that the streak of unfortunate events had ended because I got offered a job and a new place in the same week, also Lando is the world champion yayyy. I'm feeling hopeful and i can't wait for 2026 x :))
(Sorry I couldn't include everyone in the post I'll take more photos next year x)
