A Summary of My Year 2022

A few more hours to go and it’s already the year 2023. I honestly can’t feel excitement as I type this post. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow, that’s the only time I can feel that it’s another clean slate for all of us to be filled with memories. I’ve been thinking since last night …

Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Compare Yourself to Others
