If 2025 didn't unfold the way you had hoped, know that you're not alone, and you're not broken. Hard years don't define you unless you decide to let them; the setbacks and heartbreak are simply clues pointing toward what needs to shift if 2026 is going to feel different. You don't need a new year to start over; you need clarity, courage, and the willingness to build something better with what you've learned and what you still carry inside you.
