2024, thanks.

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: 

- Taylor Swift Eras Tour (Melbourne N2 - Feb '24)

Trips

- Melb Trip & all its delish food

- 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 

- discovering Bakerman's dark hot choc lol

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.
