I’m exhausted by this question. I have written, at great length, about my biggest challenges last year. Last year, being of course 2025 now. My challenges were few, but they were big and they revolved around putting the work in with therapy and healing my inner child so that she can morph into the tattooed badass she is now.
At this current moment, I have no challenges. Well, not big ones anyway. At this start to a new year, my life has entered a phase of calm acceptance. I spent much of 2025 figuring out who I am. I am entering 2026 knowing exactly who I am. I don’t feel that my emotions are as energized as they were for much of last year. Now, I certainly still get pumped up by those songs on my “inspirational” playlist. That will always be the case. But now, I feel that I’m in a place to simply be who I am.
I’ve conquered my biggest challenges. I’m sure there will be some more to come in the future. Life is not static. It changes.
This year, I’m not setting resolutions. But I do have things that I’d like to do. Write more. Make more videos and build my social media platform so that it is larger than what it was in 2025. So, not challenges necessarily, but goals. I may need to be a bit more rigid with my writing goals because I know I have a tendency to be a little lax when it comes to writing if I’m not held to a deadline.
I suppose I could say my biggest challenge will be to not lose this spark I feel right now. The inspiration to share my story to a wider audience and hopefully inspire others is strong right now. I hope to keep the spark alive and grow it into a larger flame.
Oh! And tattoos. I’d like to get more of those. Which is a challenge in itself because I want more but don’t exactly know what I want and where I want it. But I know I want more.
So, here’s to 2026 and the resolutions I’m not going to make and the not-so-big challenges I’m going to take on. The ones that don’t really feel like a challenge. They feel more like I’m just going to live this new version of my life as best as I can.
May we all live as authentically as we truly are in 2026. Happy New Year!
