what situations get you really excited? (describe what you do and who you’re with)
new places, new experiences, new people, new life changes. i get excited when the tides change. idk. i feel alive again when i’m pushed out of the mundane. but i also love tradition and old things. and i’m nostalgic.
what do you enjoy learning about?
literally anything, i always wanna know more. i want to understand the world the best i can
if money wasn’t an issue what would you do with your life?
giiirl i would have a big property but also give back to the community. i bought lots of lottery tickets in 2024 so i’ve thought quite a bit about this.
what do you love doing that also helps others?
i’ve been focusing on my bubble for a while now because the world was really overwhelming. but i really would love to get involved with marginalised communities here and give back w my time.
what kind of change do you want to see/make in the world?
i have big dreams, but again, i’ve been thinking about the smaller picture lately. sustainable mining is the focus now but didn’t pursue much lately.
what causes do you feel strongly about?
socialism, modern slavery, geopolitics, the environment, my complacency.

i feel like i see a big shift from last year here. it’s not that i’m less driven about my goals, but more that i’m just on my self-actualisation grind. i wasted a lot of time this past year in the planning phases when really i think yes, you need good foundations, but you also need the breaze on the building u know. like u design for it, you have to be there in the moment, feeling the stress and strain and making the most out of it. i now kinda just hope to be a good person. like be authentically me and be true to myself and true to my friends and give back to the community. try my hardest and feel the impacts of the little things, not get too caught up in how i’m not even working on the big things.
so i’m not really sure what success means this year. if i look at 2024 there’s a lot of measurable successes. got a pay rise, moved to mackay. got out of a relationship. but if i try and predict how i’m gonna be successful in 2025 i feel like i’m setting myself up for disappointment. i could not have predicted i would be here a year ago. no way. split from my boyfriend, living alone 12 hours away. and overall i think i consider 2024 not my best year at all, but i still succeeded. i got through depression and suicidal ideation and being in debt for a hot second and figured out full time work. and i found horses again so as cringe as it sounds, i kinda learnt how to fulfill myself emotionally a bit more. i learnt how to rest without rotting. although many a rot was had.
success must just be the feeling of i made it. whether that’s i made it to a promotion, or i made it out alive. i guess it’s not mutually exclusive. because i made it through my depression, but i also made it to mackay. and put myself out there and honestly, despite it all, i tried my fucking hardest. i think that’s what matters to me. that my intentions were there and i was a good person, and i put myself out there and i fucking tried. so success is that to me. knowing that i tried.
