The understatement of the year. Well that aged well. Never saw that coming. Never thought we would live to see the world seemingly on the brink of coming to an end Without actually doing so. We had plans and new year’s resolutions Feeling like this was the perfect year to finally crack the code to creating A new version of ourselves.
