How my 2025 went

I love doing year-end reflections. But not in terms of achievements — more in terms of bright moments, like flipping through a photo album.
Since 2020 life has become pretty unpredictable, so planning feels a bit scary. I’m learning to be flexible. I can only plan 2–3 months ahead. As for my work I also had to start over more than once. At one point I was trying to build a career in Europe and then I had to adapt to completely new realities back in Russia.
YouTube, Patreon, Google Meets, WhatsApp — everything works only through a VPN. Instagram is officially banned, so I can’t use it as my contacts legally anymore.
And yet, this year brought a lot of good moments — including some very personal wins.
