Yearly Recap Pt 1, 2025.
This year was one of the hardest years of my life. Experienced some of the lowest lows ever, like the passing of my younger cousin Julius, the struggles of trying to run a small business and the insecurity, depression, fear and doubt that all stemmed from that and much more.
Hit so many lows throughout the year but something undeniably true is that I also hit the highest of highs of my life. Kubo celebrated its one year anniversary and the fulfillment and pride I felt that day will be something I will forever cherish. I’ve built relationships and a community of loved ones that I can truly and proudly call my own. I was able to travel to new places and back to old ones, be out in nature, go to too many Padres games, find new hobbies and did more and more as the year went on. I have grown and learned a lot about myself and have been vulnerable, encouraged, loved, seen and known by others.
This year has reminded me how hard life can be but has also reinforced that I cannot experience the highs and wins of life without experiencing the lows and losses. How truly lucky I am to have the life I have and be surrounded by amazing people. I tried to count my blessings and I realized I couldn’t count that high. Im just so grateful for everything and everyone who has been a part of this year.
I miss you so much Julius, wish you were here kid, I got plenty of living to do for the both us. Thank you 2025, looking forward to 2026.
