Well, 2024 is nearly at an end, and all I can say to that is Happy New Year!

Although, honestly, I'm not really looking forward to it. With everything that's happened this year with the KOSA bill, AI developments, and results for the election; there has been more stress this year rather than relief. If you look through my past posts, you can see how bad it was for me. I won't say the year wasn't all bad, but it hasn't been ideal.

However, time stops for now no one, and there's no choice but to go forward. At least, almost every hero I can think of has gone through this: this life has been drastically changed in some way, and they go through a journey to do something about it. The story is nice when things feel like they are back to normal for them, but the more moving plots have the changes stay, and the protagonist is okay because they have the strength to go forward.

Nonetheless, those heroes have another thing that I believe is very important (having good people they can trust and rely on). Without that, the future can seem more bleak. So, stick close to your loved ones.

Above all, have a great New Year's Eve (or New Year's Day depending on when you read this), and let's get through whatever is coming next; one step at a time.
