2025
I kinda fell off doing this monthly but end of the year roundup
Black Biker Boots
Bought these boots on eBay for $20 in 2022. Loved the shape but never really gravitated towards the brown. Decided to dye them black at the end of last year and they are easily my most worn shoes this year. I’ve worn them into the ground and really need to either bring them to cobbler or learn how to resole but until then I have a slanted heel.
Kilimanjaro and Quinn
Coco and I started fostering dogs and have taken care of two really sweet dogs that I love. Quinn we only had for like 2 weeks but she was really sweet and cute. Kilimanjaro is sleeping next to me on the couch while I write this. Really fun to have a dog around. Forces me to move more and get outside which is good for me mentally.
Franki June
I started a business or whatever. Started really creating a lot more than I have in the past and for the first time have really felt proud of a lot of the things I’ve made. Creating is kind of the joy of life. I’ve also just learned so much about what I’m doing and how to be better. Really grateful for and sending lots of love to any and everybody who’s bought something from me because thats crazy and awesome and perfect.
Elden Ring
Started it like a year ago, couldn’t get into it cause it felt too hard. Came back to it this year and really loved it. Most accomplished I’ve ever felt playing a video game. Got me interested in souls games and other nerd shit. Really just incredible world building and environmental storytelling. How do they fit that into a computer? Also feel like it’s taught me about perseverance blah blah.
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
Continuing with nerd shit. Really great puzzles, interesting way to tell a story through a puzzle game. So good. Really fun to play with Oliver.
Bike
Bought an old beat up bike on marketplace towards the end of the year and really loved riding to friends houses and work and the store and biking is kind of lovely and scary sometimes and fun. Haven’t really been using it since it’s gotten too cold/snowy but once I bring it out again it’ll be smiles.
Levis engineered jeans
Not even my pants but I’ve been wearing them multiple times a week the past couple months. Really nice cut. interesting for Levi’s. i know every fashion girl is on these now but they’ve really been something reliable. 2025 has unfortunately been kind of the year of brokeness and not buying new stuff so its nice to have things I love to wear consistently. Been wearing more jeans this year as a result. Brings me out of all black a little bit sometimes.
Music
Albums that came out in 2025 that I liked very roughly ranked
Movies
These didn’t all come out this year but its my favorites that I watched for the first time this year. I think Birth and boiling point probably left the biggest impact on me.
Love Franki <3
