Hopes for 2025

JustBe

Hi,

As we go into 2025, for me it's a significant milestone since a traumatic event in my life, and because of this I am met with mixed feelings. 

I feel that I should be further ahead in my recovery, and I would have really liked to be helping others by now, and to have a life purpose. But along with the frustration comes the guilt for trying to carry on/moving on with my life. 

I know that I need to be kind to myself really. And I only discovered that I'm autistic a year ago, and that's a lot to deal with on it's own. 

My hopes for 2025 are to have/make good memories. And it would be really nice to finally have mutual love in my life.

What are your hopes for 2025 ? 

Best wishes for the new year people.

  • Best wishes for 2025 - I can understand the mixed feelings. I was dealing with PTSD for a lot of 2022 and 2023 and it was only in 2024 that I really started to emerge from all of that. Lots of complicated feelings still continue for me - and I have good and bad days. 
    My hopes for 2025 are to stay well, and continue to build on my ability to enjoy life again, and not feel so scared. To just be able to find happiness in normal, everyday life. Peace and contentment - lots of time in nature, a bit of travel and to enjoy creative projects. And also - very importantly - for my loved ones to be happy and well also. 
    I was diagnosed as autistic in 2022 - and it takes a while to fully process it doesn’t it? It certainly gave me a lot to think about and reflect on. 
    I hope you find the love you’re looking to find - it definitely helps to have that in one’s life. At the same time I hope you can find happiness with or without that. Happy New Year :)
