My 2025 Vision Board

As the new year begins, I find myself at a crossroads between the challenges I’ve faced and the dreams I’m determined to pursue. To set the tone for 2025, I created a vision board—a vivid, inspiring reminder of where I want to be by the end of this year. Each piece of this board represents a part of my ultimate dream: to live a life of freedom, creativity, and financial stability. Here’s a glimpse into what my 2025 vision board is all about.

1. Financial Stability

For years, I’ve wrestled with the weight of financial debt. My vision for 2025 begins with a clean slate: debts paid off, savings growing, and a renewed sense of security. On my board, I’ve included images of dollars. (Yes, dollars not pesos). It’s a reminder that, while the journey may be tough, each small step brings me closer to financial freedom.

2. Life in Mabini, Batangas

Mabini has always felt like a second home—a place where I can breathe, reflect, and reconnect with nature. This year, I dream of calling it my permanent home. On my vision board, this dream is represented by serene images of coastal views, and a cozy seaside home. Mabini isn’t just a destination; it’s a symbol of peace and a life lived closer to the ocean.

3. Embracing Mermaiding

Mermaiding has always been my escape, a way to express freedom and joy in the water. My vision board celebrates this passion with images of mermaiding. Affirmations like “Graceful, free, and at peace” remind me to keep this playful, magical part of myself alive, even during challenging times.

4. Thriving in Digital Work

To support this dream lifestyle, I envision myself thriving as a digital entrepreneur or freelancer. My board features visuals of being a digital nomad. Words like “Flexible and fulfilling work” anchor this vision, reflecting my goal to build a sustainable and meaningful career while living wherever my heart desires.

5. Returning to Creativity

Art and music have always been my first loves, and I dream of reigniting this creative spark in 2025. My vision board includes painting and music production visuals. Affirmations like “Creative energy flows through me” encourage me to make time for songwriting and painting again—not just as hobbies, but as integral parts of who I am.

Why a Vision Board Matters

A vision board isn’t just about pretty pictures; it’s a tangible manifestation of the life you’re working towards. By seeing these dreams laid out visually every day, I’m reminding myself that my goals are valid and achievable. It’s a beacon of hope on days when I especially feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of my path.

I have reached the point where I finally say "enough" to failures, self-doubts, and disappointments. This year, I’m choosing to believe in my dreams. Each piece of my vision board reflects a step towards the life I’ve always wanted. And with each passing day, I’ll keep striving, trusting, and creating—because 2025 is the year to finally make it happen.
