you’ve changed, and so has your listening
to 2024
my Spotify Wrapped said, “you’ve changed, and so has your listening.” Maybe it said the same statement to everyone, or this is just a phrase that links one recap to the other by default, but the moment I read it, it did indeed click.
my music taste has definitely changed, evolved, and transitioned into something different this year. From Fred again to RY X, from Girl in Red to Arde Bogotá or Clairo, while having The Place, Un Cielo Azul, All Day, or Dive In on repeat for many days in a row.
my music taste has changed, for sure, but so have I.
all this to say that I would have never imagined life would look the way it does right now by the end of the year.
like many other years, I started the year writing down a list of goals to accomplish throughout the year 2024 but never looked back at it until November. As if by the simple act of writing the list down, all things will be accomplished.
nonetheless, it sort of has happened. Out of 16 goals that I wrote with no details as if it were a grocery list, 12 can be crossed off this list. Unintentionally, since I never looked back at this list until last month.
I started the year with no clear vision or expectations whatsoever. Trusting it would slowly unfold in the right way.
ironically, it was the year I officially graduated from my MBA in the spring and from my YTT in the fall. The year that I was the most unstable at my apartment, to then move and feel the complete opposite. The year that my urge to rebuild a life somewhere else completely from scratch was silenced for a while, and that movement became a nonnegotiable daily.
a year of growing in new directions and outgrowing others. A year of thriving in discomfort and being at peace with it, of being fully understood and completely dissociated, of trusting the uncertainty, enjoying the process, and accepting that it is ok to not know what is coming next.
a year to figure out priorities, where, and what to focus on. a year full of trust in this and each other.
we invite you to take some time to reflect on your 2024 and dream about 2025 with this little inspiration here:
self-reflection
who am I surrounding myself with?
what energy do I want to bring to my life? where am I putting my energy?
create a chart with two columns. Draw a cloud in one and a sun in the other. Now, on the first side, list what makes you feel like a cloud is covering your head and, on the other side, what makes you feel like sunshine in your face.
what are the most beautiful moments you’ve lived in 2024?
what are my favorite ways to take care of myself?
what are some lessons from this past year?
what are you most proud of from 2024?
visualization for 2025
how do I want my 2025 to look like?
what energy do I want to bring to my life?
what 3 things would I love to accomplish in 2025?
what are your goals for the first 3 months of 2025?
where can I grow?
what am I looking forward to?
sending you mucho love,
L. & G.
