What a year.

From doors saving me from almost giving up on creative pursuits to becoming friends with my favorite musicians, I am grateful.

Grateful that the way I see the world resonates with so many people out there.

2024? I’m worried to be honest. Worried that I won’t reach the same highs as this past year. That I’ve finally peaked. That I won’t be as lucky.

Worried that I might burn out trying.

But surprises aren’t exciting when you know what’s coming. Even less exciting when you already have it.

Excitement comes from the unknown and the anticipation. Curiosity brings joy and discovery.

Achieving something you never thought was possible is a greater reward than reaching a predetermined destination.

So all of this to say, I’m excited to be curious. And I’m excited to bring you along with me.

And thank you to everyone who has supported, watched, and cheered me along – it means the world.

Happy holidays!
