2025 was a BIG year full of lots of excitement and change.

it was a rollercoaster, where i experienced both

THE HIGEST OF HIGHS,

spending lots of time with loved ones!!!

having the BSE (BEST SUMMER EVER!) and BDE (BEST DECEMBER EVER!)

taking a leap of faith and moved to NYC

and THE LOWEST OF LOWS.

putting our dog of 15 years down

watching family members grow older

having my first major allergic reaction in 10 years & the hospital bill that came along with it

but i wouldn’t trade it for the world.

here’s how the best year of my life broke down in numbers.

THE STATS

lived in 3 different cities

& visited 3 different countries (notably went to Portugal for the first time!)

tried out 157 new restaurants

applied to 421 jobs before moving to NYC

laughed so hard i cried at least 15 times & in the last 6 months have only cried 7 times

took 56 classes at Noble Method

went on 6 first dates

completed 2 courses for personal growth

listened to Sleepyhead 100 times (i wish i was exaggerating)

had sushi 25 times and 12 lychee martinis

read 6 books, with my favorite and most memorable being Ina Garten’s Memoir, “Be Ready When The Luck Happens“

and while the new year can be opportunity to make lots of changes, this year i’ve found myself wanting to enrich my life with a few smaller tweaks to my overall lifestyle.

WHAT I WANT TO LEARN IN 2026

how to properly use chopsticks

more Excel spreadsheet hacks

a hobby that involves my hands

how to stand my ground more often

a fancier (or less messy) way to write

WHAT I WANT TO GO AFTER IN 2026

building a community in NYC by trying out new hobbies and environments

going to the Church of Sweden regularly

establishing a side hustle that blends some of my passions with making $$$$

LET’S GET AFTER IT and make this the best one yet!!!

💘, HANNA
