Annie MiaoMy, oh my- what a year it’s been. 2024 embodied HUGE milestones and accomplishments: I bought my dream house at 26, walked the runway for New York Fashion Week, and took my career to entirely unfathomable levels. I’ve experienced so many wins and an abundance of ‘firsts’. As someone who fears change, some big shifts sent me reeling, but I’ve learned that discomfort is often the price of growth. It was a Herculean feat condensing the highlights down for this reel; all that has happened this year deserves a feature-length film. And the love… oh, the love. I have loved with ferocity, found security in the truest friendships I’ve ever known, and endured heartbreak more than a few times but managed to find the lesson in each loss. Missed expectations will never stop me from giving my whole entire heart to those I meet. I’ve cried, so many times, and imagined that the world as I knew it was ending. What a blessing it is to feel so deeply. I’ve learned so much about myself: my romantic heart, that wars constantly with my fearful mind; the way I jump into everything with intensity, guiding me to both great successes and painful burnouts. I remain an “everything happens for a reason” girlie, even if it doesn’t make sense at the time. Even if it destroys you and shatters your faith in the goodness of the world, I promise that one day you will be able to look back with clarity at even the darkest moments. My biggest takeaway? To focus on real action and intention rather than idealization and maladaptive daydreams. Words are sweet but sadly have no loyalty, and people ultimately show love, respect, and their true character through actions. In 2025 we match effort with effort, and we accept nothing less. And above all, listen to your gut!! To everyone who’s touched my life this year, I have endless appreciation for your contributions to my journey, and I sincerely hope I’ve been a positive part of yours. I trust the universe, I trust my intuition, I’ve never been more grateful to be alive. #2024recap
