Fortunette: A zine about loss and challenges in 2025

I made a zine to chronicle 2025.

This was one of the hardest years I’ve had with mental health challenges and a lot of hardships outside of my control. Usually, I’m pretty good at coping and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. But this year was different and it was very humbling and tougher than what I was prepared for.

Things are better now and I don’t want people to worry (but I appreciate the care). Making this zine helped me reflect on this past year in a way that helped me find meaning in the absurdity and uncertainty of life, and how things shape out to be.

As an epilogue, you should listen to this song. I just started listening to it about a week ago and I feel like it perfectly sums up the end of this year and where I’m at with everything.

Take care and keep well. And tell me something good.
