Extra shifts aren’t an option for me right now either. I’ve been trying to find something like freelance data entry or even starting a small online shop, but it’s tough to figure out what’s actually doable with limited time. What kind of gigs have you tried that you'd recommend?

Nurses, on the last day of the year, let’s be real.

If you simply survived, that’s already a huge accomplishment.

A friend of mine beat cancer earlier this year.

Later, she lost a parent to cancer.

For every big win, someone faced a heartbreaking challenge.

This year was a mix of joy and difficulty for many.

Let’s celebrate the victories and honor the lessons from losses.

Here’s to 2025 and whatever it may bring. 🥂
