I also want to take a moment to thank everyone who has made this server into what it is today. It’s been such a joy getting to know all of you and being part of this warm, welcoming community. Let’s continue creating beautiful and memorable moments together in the cozy café server and through our interactions in Ryry's streams. 🎉

For me, 2025 will be all about living intentionally (I'm dead throughout 2024 rip me)! My New Year’s resolution is to downgrade my spendings (not my lifestyle!) so I can enjoy life more fully. This means I won’t be able to indulge in delicious-looking food as often, but hey, 2–3 times a month is totally okay! 🍰✨ I’ll focus on eating healthy, taking care of myself by getting outdoors more, treating myself to relaxing spa days, and going on enriching trips! First on the list, hopefully Thailand or the Philippines (pray for me-)! 🌴✨

Let’s make this year one to remember. Wishing you all endless joy, laughter, and self-love in 2025. 💖

-a depressed cat lord

For me, this year is all about breaking free. It’s about rediscovering who I am and nurturing the most important relationship I’ll ever have—the one with myself. I'll focus on simplifying my life—decluttering things and relationships that no longer align with who I am becoming, and surrounding myself with kind and uplifting people who encourage growth. It’s a year to honor my boundaries and to redefine kindness—not as self-sacrifice, but as a strength that uplifts while staying true to myself.

This year, I want to be bold. I’ve spent too long hiding behind a screen, afraid to step out and face the world. But this year, I’ll embrace confidence—not as a performance, but as an unshakable belief in my worth. For years, I’ve tried to be as resilient as a rose that blooms in winter, enduring whatever life throws at me. But this time, I will take charge, steering my life with intention and courage. I will celebrate my individuality and trust that my voice matters, no matter the stage. Every step forward will be a reminder that courage starts with showing up, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Self-improvement will also be at the heart of my journey. Whether it’s upskilling to climb the career ladder, becoming a better content creator, or developing the soft skills that make me a more compassionate and capable person, I am committed to growth. I also want to make time for those who matter most—my family, who have given me so much love and strength. As they grow older, I realize how precious our time together is, and I want to cherish every moment.

This is also the year I’ll confront my fears. Traveling has always intimidated me—the uncertainty, the unknown. But it’s time to step out of my comfort zone and discover the beauty of the world. I plan to visit Indonesia, a place that holds a special place in my heart. It’s a land of rich culture and breathtaking beauty, and I hope to finally meet the people who have inspired and supported me from afar. I’ve heard the words, “main mu kurang malam dan kurang jauh” so many times, and this year, I’ll leave that “kurang” behind as I chase horizons that spark my soul.

I envision this year as one of growth, gratitude, and courage—a year to become the best version of myself while lifting others along the way. Together, let’s create a world filled with kindness, love, and hope. Let’s bloom into the most beautiful versions of ourselves.

Here’s a little haiku for a tldr (even though haikubot won't see this):

From shadows of doubt,
Self-love casts its light about,
Grace now shines throughout.

May the year 2025 be unforgettable, not just for what we achieve, but for the love and light we share with the world. 💗

Taking my time, retrying, going all at it again. Learning new stuff, getting to meet other people, and generally being a nice person.

aim to become happy, and help others be happy while you are around. Hope that everyone has nice new years and that everyone gets to do what they are wishing for the most!

you can do it, even if your past did not

-w- much love

First, I want to find a job near my parents’ house so I can move back and spend more time with them. It's always been something I’ve wanted, and I think it’ll help me feel more grounded.

I also want to find a work-from-home job, something that’s fulfilling and pays enough to support me.

I plan on accepting who I am more this year, embracing my neurodivergence, and not letting it define my limitations but instead recognizing my strengths.

I want to be more active in Ryry’s community, because being part of this supportive and positive space has really helped me in the past, and I want to contribute more.

When it comes to streaming, I hope to find more courage to put myself out there. I know it’s a challenge, but I want to grow and push myself to be more open and confident.

I also want to be kinder to others, offering support and positivity whenever I can.

Lastly, my relationship with my sister is something I want to nurture this year, working on better communication and understanding between us.

Here’s to making it happen!

I'll start with cutting back on alcohol. This past year, I've found myself reaching for a drink after long office hours or a stressful day at the desk. While I thought it helped me unwind, I realize now that it's been having more of a negative impact on my energy and mood than I anticipated. Back in the day, I would tell myself just one or two drinks wouldn’t hurt, but it kept adding up, affecting my productivity the next day. I don't want to find myself feeling sluggish anymore when I really want to be sharp and energized. So for 2025, I'm aiming to stick to just the occasional drink when it's a special occasion or when I’m with friends. I’m planning to stay committed to healthier choices and to really notice the difference.

Quitting smoking has been on my mind for some time as well. For years, I kept telling myself it wasn’t a big deal or that I could quit whenever I felt ready. But honestly, it’s something I’ve struggled with for longer than I’d like to admit. There have been days where I went without a cigarette, only to light one up again as soon as I felt stressed or anxious. I know it’s not good for my body, and more than that, I realize I just want to feel better overall.

On top of those changes, I want to be more productive at work. My goal is to have more balance in my day-to-day work life, putting effort into staying organized and not letting deadlines sneak up on me. I want to get into the habit of breaking down bigger projects into smaller steps and finishing them early, so I don't feel that rush anymore. I want my coworkers to know they can rely on me, and more importantly, I want to feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of each week.

It’s not going to be easy, and I’m sure I’ll face challenges along the way. But I feel like these changes are necessary, both for my health and my productivity. They’re steps toward becoming the person I want to be, someone who feels energized, focused, and more present.

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and productive new year!

I'll also upgrade my PC to a RTX 5090 and a Ryzen 9900x3d because my PC is starting to not cut it when it comes to new games.

I also want to cut back on spending, especially on buying too much food. Sometimes, I end up ordering more than I need or buying snacks I don’t even finish. This year, I want to be more mindful and save that money for things that really matter, like piano lessons or other important goals.

Good luck to all of us!

I’ve always been someone who values being independent. When I first got into streaming, it was because I wanted to share what I love: games, stories, whatever made me feel good. The idea of sitting in front of a camera, talking to strangers, and building connections with people seemed exciting and refreshing. It felt like a way to express myself without the pressure of always having to join group activities, which to be honest, can feel a bit draining at times.

Lately, though, it feels like there’s this unspoken rule that we need to do this constant collaborations. And while I understand the appeal of working together and bouncing off each other’s energy, I’ve found myself feeling a little out of place. Most of my streamer friends love doing it, they seem to get a lot of joy from collaborating, but I’m just not as motivated to always have something set up with others.

If I’m being honest, I’m not one of those people who can keep up with collabs all the time. I get drained. Sometimes, it feels like the only way to be involved and feel connected is to say “yes” to whatever comes up, but then, if I’m not doing that, I start feeling like I’m not part of the group. It's hard to keep up with the pace when it feels like everyone else is moving a bit faster, pushing each other, having constant content together. And in the end, I start thinking to myself, “What if I don’t get invited next time? What if they stop asking? What if I got excluded out of their circle?”

I don’t want to feel left out anymore. This year, I just want to feel like I belong. Not because I’m constantly collabing or because I have to fit in with how others are running their streams. I want to find a balance, where I feel comfortable being myself. I don’t need to have a huge group of friends at every moment, but I do want to feel accepted for who I am.

So, in 2025, I’m setting the intention to grow more into my own skin as a streamer. I want to embrace the parts of this journey that make me feel excited about what I'm doing, even if that means stepping back from what seems like the expected thing. If others don’t understand or if I’m not always joining the latest collab, that’s okay. I want to build a community around being myself and not feeling like I need to chase every opportunity to be involved just to feel seen.

As we step into the fresh start of 2025, I want to take a moment to send my heartfelt wishes to each and every one of you. To those who have set resolutions or dreams for the year, I hope you see them not just as goals but as seeds of possibility that will grow and flourish with time, effort, and care. May this year bring you endless moments of joy, strength in times of challenge, and countless opportunities to learn, grow, and create memories you’ll cherish.

Looking back on 2024, I’ve been overwhelmed (in the best way) by the kindness that the previous year has given me. I’ve been lucky enough to get closer to the people in my life, reconnect with old friends, and welcome new faces. The kindness I’ve received from all of them has been overwhelming. It felt like I was being showered with confetti made of love and hugs, and that warm feeling you get when someone remembers your coffee order. I’ve been showered with warmth from friends I’ve known for years, and from strangers who’ve become so much more than that. And I know that I’ve probably said it before to them, multiple bouts of "thank you" accompanied sometimes with capslock and tears, but I’ll say it again because some things deserve repetition: thank you for reminding me that humans can be so beautifully, maddeningly good, and thank you for becoming a part of my memories this year.

But—and there’s always a “but,” isn’t there?—there’s one person who didn’t treat me as kindly as the others in my life had. Someone who should have been cheering for me and comforting me. Someone who should have been the first to say, “It’s okay, you’re doing your best,” or stand up for me when I was in a situation that I'm not exactly comfortable being in. Someone, who, instead of doing all these things, this person often whispered things like, “You could’ve done better,” or “Toughen up, smile, and say that you’re fine,” even when I’m not currently fine.

And... do you know who is that someone?

Well... It's me.

Surprise twist, right? I know. Plot twist of the century: The villain of my self-care journey was the person who brushes my teeth every day. And honestly? Rude.

Here’s the thing: I realized I’ve been pretty terrible at being kind to myself. While I was busy spending the whole year worrying about how to make other people happy—offering comfort, cheerleading for their success, bending over backward to make space for them—I forgot to show even the tiniest sliver of that same energy to myself, that I’m also a person who deserves love and care.

So this year, I’ve decided I’m throwing a tantrum, a BIG, dramatic one (picture a toddler in the middle of a toy store, flopping on the floor while screaming about their unmet needs). But the tantrum is directed at myself, and the message is clear: Be kinder to me, for once.

2025, I have decided, is not just about setting goals; I’m staging a revolt. Against myself. By myself. For myself. It's about less sacrificing myself on the altar of everyone’s expectations, and more of asking myself hard-but-necessary questions like: "Hello, Me, does this make you happy, or are you faking it to avoid confrontation again?". It's about recognizing when I need help, taking time to care for my mental and physical health, and not pretending everything is fine when it isn’t. It's about stopping the masking of my emotions with a smile, not letting others take advantage of me, and standing up for my own comfort when people bully me. It’s about continuing to spread kindness, but without losing myself in the process. It’s about learning to say no without apologizing a million times, and about saying yes to things that genuinely make me happy: more books, more games, more finishing what I have started, more rest, and, all in all... more me (or money, that works also).

And at the end of 2025, I’m going to be asking myself a new question. Not just “Did you accomplish your goals?” but also, “Were you kind to yourself while you tried?” because it turns out, you can achieve a lot and still feel like a crumpled piece of paper if you forget to take care of the person doing all that achieving.

And of course, it’s not going to be easy, I know. I’ll probably still fumble, saying “yes” when I want to say “no,” laughing through clenched teeth, or spiraling into overachievement because that’s what anxiety does on its day off. But this year, I want to fight for myself the way I’ve always fought for others—to be a person who can look in the mirror and say, “You’re worth the kindness, too.”

So, here’s to 2025. To taking up space unapologetically, to saying “no” without needing a 42-slide PowerPoint on why, to finding joy in big things and small (like a really great lasagna or finishing that game I started four years ago), to pause, breathe, and ugly cry on occasion without apologizing. Here’s to growth that doesn’t come at the cost of health, happiness, or humanity.

And if you’re reading this thinking, “Wait, I feel that too…”—then let’s do it together. Let’s show ourselves the kind of love and tenderness we’d offer anyone else. Let’s make 2025 the year of "more me". The year of unapologetically reclaiming our time, our joy, and our kindness—starting with ourselves. And if anyone tells you that’s selfish, smile and tell them, “It’s not selfish. It’s me fighting for my own happiness.” Then walk away dramatically, like the hero of your own story. Because you are. You always have been. And it’s about time you (and I) believed it.

Happy New Year 2025, me. Let’s be messy, human, and unapologetically ourselves this year.

My new years resolution is to put in all of my effort into my own self-growth, whether it actually results in that or not. Part of me wants to think I am doing well right now, but deep down, I know I am at the lowest point I've ever been before. That's all, thank you.

It has been a wild ride last year! Met so many people/players, joined a team in pokemon unite and won a tournament in december and even met more vtubers as i go lurking around still!!

My resolution for 2025? This year? I dont have the time to expect something for this but i do have some resolutions!

1. Get more Motivation to Arts and Animation

2. Get my first Own PC

3. Learn new talents/abilities/skills

4. Sing more and cover songs

5. Have my first collab with someone

6. Have a Chaotic journey in 2025!

I hope you all have a nice godly year in 2024 ITS TIME FOR A NEW CHAPTER IN THE START OF 2025!!!

MAY EVERYONE HAVE THEIR RESOLUTION BE COMPLETED AS IF ITS BINGO-

By The Unknown (Firereact11)

It’s a new year – a chance for a fresh start, a chance to turn the page and leave behind what no longer serves us.

Looking back, with all the great and all, kindness and empathy got a little lost in 2024. We dont want to blame him, but something is wrong. So please 2025, show us what it means to be human again, how we should treat each other. This is a big reminder for me, too.

2025 comes, I have no grand plans for the 362 days ahead. Maybe I’ll work on being healthier, be a more positive person or get better at managing my time. This Christmas gave me a wake-up call—I realized how little time I’ve made for my family, especially my parents. That’s something I truly need to change.

New partner? More Gundam? Who knows what 2025 will bring. But one thing I do know is that this year, I’ll work hard to stay true to myself—for me, for my friends, for my family.

PS. Special thanks to Ryry for all the hardwork, I know how much you’ve been through all these year, and I couldn’t be more prouder.

I don’t really have a New Year’s resolution in mind right now, because, truth be told, I’ve been thinking about leaving this world. It’s been on my mind for a while. But something about your words stuck with me. Maybe they’ve given me a reason to try to hold on, at least for a little longer. So, thanks for that.

But this year is different. I think a good new year's resolution would be: "don't die". I think I can do that. Maybe? We'll see.

I've been struggling to find a meaning in my life for almost the entire first half of 2024(and like most of 2023 at least), but in the second half, I found things to do, things that I feel like are worth living for, friends that are worth living for. And I don't plan to leave this world before finishing all the things I want to do.

Let's see what life decides to throw at me in 2025. See you (maybe) in chat one day and (hopefully) in 2026.
