Goodbye, 2025! Hello, 2026!

Posted by Kim on December 31, 2025, 9:00am

A grizzled old treasure chest mimic, with 2025 emblazoned in gold on its lid. It is slavering and dangerous looking.Well, this sure was a year XD Two major moves and a fairly earth shaking personal event chewed up most of it for me (there's a little more info in the Terra Incognita backers forum) -- but it's left me in a better place than I've been for a long time, mentally, and for the last few weeks I've been tearing through update work on the RPR that I hadn't had the energy for for ages. At this rate, we're on track for an update release sometime in January of 2026, with a lot of fixes I know you've been waiting for!

2025 opened and continued on the dark side for me, but I have a much better feeling about 2026.

What are your hopes for this next year?

I hope to graduate this year. This thesis has been eating away at my mind for too long. I long to be free of it.

Overall I continue to hope for a better year than the last—for myself, friends and family, and the world as a whole.

@Four the box is a mimic! This IS its grown up version! :)
It looked like this as a baby 2025-new.png

I'm confused...

Maybe it's not what I remember, but isn't the box supposed to open and then we see baby 2025 all grown up?

Or is this grown up 2025. 26? Maybe I'm remembering wrong lol 😅

The last of 2025 was horrible. Losing my cat sucked... but, hey. There are a lot of good things to be thankful for. Stuff I'm slowly learning to appreciate, and my cat would want me to appreciate and love the life I shared with him before he passed. So 2026 will hopefully be better.

my hope is to meet new people, learn the art of text RP and have new adventures with friends and my amazing partner.

My life has always been hell. I have always been alone. Never had any support from anyone in my life. And 2025 was a continuation of events that made it more unbearable for me. Add a shower of political and economic crisis to this, and you would get an inferno. However, darkness has always been with me, ever-present in my heart, and the source of my stamina and resistance against the lemons of life. I continue with hope in my heart that one day things will get better eventually.

--- Writing is my best quality, and roleplaying is another quality that gives me hope and peace, and I believe I will have nice and long stories in 2026 :)

I too have had some life shattering moments starting in 2024 but dragging into 2025. They also left me in a better place now despite how bad it was. It was definitely a chrysalis year, and I hope for a continuously better me. 🫂

I genuinely just hope to recover from 2025. I did a lot of exciting things but I also experienced a lot of bad things. So here's to a better year!!

To keep it simple, just hope I keep progressing in life, have a healthier lifestyle and that I managed to live through another year.

Maybe even try something new.

I’m already in a good place. My hope is simply to stay there and keep building.

Wishing us all rich stories, soulful partnerships, & a year full of peace, health, & kindness. ✨

I just want things to be more peacefully next year, but in honesty I have little faith in it. I hoped that for the last 3 years and things have only gotten worse...

But I still have two legs and stand through everything, so tonight, I instead hope that all others have an amazing time, and possibly a box of cheese sticks manifest right in front of me :3

(REALLY hopeful a box of cheese sticks manifests)

I just hope for continued health and happiness! Maybe to find a better job for myself as well.

Happy New Year to all! (:

What do I hope?
A better year, yes, maybe.
The little problems of 2025 solved, of course.
Wealth and Happiness to all, no doubt!

No, for me I just want to continue, I just want this feeling of warmth and goodness to linger for another year.

No more

I'm going back to college after 16 years starting in January, and I'm very hopeful that it goes well. I hope for a better 2026 for all of us!

I hope to continue doing well at university, and hopefully make a few lasting friends in real life that aren’t just my family.

I hope next year, no matter what happens, I can continue to grow and build my irl communities, to get them to a stable place that can last for years to come. :]
