Word of the Year: Care

January 24, 2025

I do not usually do a “word of the year” or if I do, I do not usually stick to it, but this year, I kind of stumbled upon my word of the year. I wasn't really thinking about wanting to have word of the year, but I was thinking about how I want this year to be different than last year, and I came across the word that I feel like best resonates with how I want myself to handle 2025; the 30th year of my life. As you can see from the title of this post, the word of the year is care and this is how I would like this to translate:

• care more about the way that I look.

  • a haircut that I like and actually do my hair

  • a simple make up routine that makes me feel lovely

  • a skincare routine that helps clear up the spots that make me want to pick

• care more about my health.

  • like mentioned in previous blogs, seasonal eating and local shopping

  • more active in ways that I enjoy moving my body - I will never be a gym girl

  • see doctors regularly ( this sounds silly but I realized the other day I cannot think of the last time I went to a regular doctor for just a check up )

• care less about others opinions.

  • dress the way I want to dress

  • live the life that I want to live

  • spend less time watching others lives from the highlight reel that everyone puts on the internet

• care less about where are others are in comparison to where I am.

  • it has been a lifelong struggle feeling behind, and we need to just nix that - we are all on different timelines

• care less about that others think is cool and care more about what I think is cool.

  • we don’t need to all be the same person

Here is to the year of Care!
