Looking Back on 2025 | Delivering Words

As I write this final post of the year,

there has been a quiet sense of discomfort staying with me.

I kept asking myself,

“What is this discomfort I feel in my own writing?”

Just as conversations carry different moods depending on the moment,

writing also has its own atmosphere.

Sometimes we change our tone on purpose.

Other times, our words naturally shift depending on who we are speaking to.

What I want to write is something that feels like talking

to a friend or a family member sitting right in front of me.

Not words meant for everyone,

but words meant to reach one person.

I realized that the discomfort I felt earlier

came from my words becoming nothing more than emotional outpouring—

feelings with no destination.

There was no care,

no sense of reason behind them.

It felt a bit like talking to a wall,

muttering to myself.

Looking back, 2025 was truly a year full of events.

It was also the year this blog was born.

At times, it feels as if my daily life now revolves around this blog.

This month, I even launched another site for English readers.

My goal is simple:

to create a place that feels light and easy to visit,

a blog that sits quietly in the corner of someone’s everyday life,

offering a brief moment to pause and breathe.

I will continue to write toward this dream,

without forcing myself,

using words that are honest and true to who I am.

Thank you for being here this year.

And thank you for reading.

Wishing you a peaceful and kind New Year.
