My procrastinating nature ultimately made me miss the chance to finish the 24th entry in 2024. Fortunately, the 25th entry will definitely be posted in 2025.

Regarding yesterday’s (hard-earned) rambling account, some people might find it suddenly unfamiliar. To this, I can only say that my mom is the same (scribble) and a year ago, I wouldn’t have understood any of this either. Most of what I wrote are the changes and insights of the year, and the former Tianyao remains unchanged! Thanks for understanding.

Thinking about it, I actually missed some content yesterday—New Year’s Resolutions are indispensable for the New Year! Here, I hope in the new year…

  • To transcribe the Sojourner’s Diary (write it in the notebook Jenny sister gave me)

  • To finish editing the videos I want to edit (I think they’ve been dragging on for who knows how many years, haha)

  • To find a part-time job (how casual, hey)

  • To maintain active contact with family (does this really need to be a goal?)

  • To record more of life and let more people see it

  • To quit bad habits with her

  • To remember to read His word every day

  • Finally, to get into my dream university!

That’s it for now. Afterwards, at the end of each diary entry, I will add: “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight.”

Welcome! To! 2025!

PS: Catching the tail end of January 1st to wish Zhaobai a happy birthday! Thanks to him for taking me karting and watching a Conan movie; also thanks to everyone who gave me gifts in advance
