As always, it has been a while since my last post. I do realize that if this keeps happening, I might as well make ‘Its been a while since my last post” my opening line. So, Story so far… It’s 2020.

#P8 Lessons learnt in 2019
2019 was a fun year. It was eventful for everyone in their own ways. Many people found their passions, many met their long-lost friends and family. Many found love, while many lost theirs.
