Running Out of Time?

I created this sketch just before the end of 2025. As I reflected on the year, I realized that I spent it constantly feeling rushed. I tried to fit in as much as I could, whether it was school, friends, hobbies, etc. I was always doing something and rarely took time to rest, which left me feeling overwhelmed.

Going into 2026, I am committed to no longer living my life as if I am running out of time. It is okay to pause, to be present, and to take breaks.
