Oh 2024, you've been something.
The heights are high,
the valleys are deep.
And sometimes, they tumble into a parallel experience where you are soaring and sinking at the same time. How does life do that?
Anyway,
as always, a fun look back at 2024:
Concerts:

- Brisbane trip x2 (unexpectedly)!
- Japan Trip
- 4 separate Bali trips!
One for an office outing, one for a cousin's wedding, and two work trips, where I ended up working in Bali for 3 weeks. Out of a backpack and a small suitcase. Nailed it!
Other highlights:
- IC'24
- a little collection: Nevermine

So, despite how hard its been on my brain,
I've been very lucky.
I just want to end with gratitude.
Predicting next year: I can see the challenges lurking, waiting.
But, one thing that I want to (try to) do in 2025: I want to SOAR.
let's see how it goes.
