2025 YEAR-END WRAP-UP | BACK STORY
FEBRUARY
Try – P!nk
“Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame,
Where there is a flame someone’s bound to get burned,
But just because it burns doesn’t mean you’re gonna die—
You gotta get up and try.”
February carried the challenge of continuation. After the new year arrived with more difficulty than expected, this song became a reminder that pain is not a signal to stop—it is often the cost of wanting something deeply. Try reflected the reality that moving forward meant risking hurt again, knowing that setbacks and burns were almost inevitable.
Yet, this month was not faced alone. Friends became lifelines—steady presences that kept everything from sinking, offering strength when motivation wavered. With their support, choosing to continue another school year felt possible, even after carrying painful memories from the past. This song symbolized the courage to try again: to stand up despite fear, to take risks despite scars, and to keep moving forward—not because it was easy, but because giving up was no longer an option.
