Over the course of the month, I'll be posting questions - some fun, some reflective, some silly, some deep - looking back on this year, and taking us into 2026 with our heads held high.

Let’s jump right in with the first one.

If you could give yourself a trophy for surviving this year, what would it be for?

This can be serious or funny. Gifs and images are welcome.

I would definitely give my self the "facing darkest fears with faith and courage allll alone" and personal improvement trophy. It would say : Discovering others' betrayals is difficult, coping with that is more difficult, surviving is even more difficult but changing and growing because of that is the most difficult so in one word You Are Unbeatable Dear !

I would give myself the 

Surviving New Medications! Trophy, because since I was diagnosed with Epilepsy everything has been haywire and I have been switching meds like crazy, one of which I was severely allergic to. But I survived, and I'm still alive and kicking, so yay me!!

@PressContinue I’m so happy for you. I don’t see people speaking about this issue as much as it should. My girlfriend suffered a lot from taking different meds as well and it’s so hard! It’s the first time I see someone saying it got it handled! I’m proud of you.

@Betterday14

Thank you so much! This comment really made my day! Yeah, switching medications is an issue that really should be spoken out about more. I'm really glad I found the medication for me, but the journey may start again, so I'm making sure to give myself a little hopefulness boost so the next time something like this comes around the corner I can meet it head on!

Also, please tell your girlfriend I'm rooting for her! She can do anything, especially getting through those medications!

I wouldn't give myself one, since I think trophies & other awards are given far too often & for ridiculous reasons in modern society.

@slowdecline48

Well, then maybe just think of something you're proud of yourself for doing or accomplishing, and put that down, then! I think this is just about recognizing something that you've done right!
