Your Deliciously Beautiful Year | 15 min
Imagine in ten years from now, a friend asks you about the best year of your life. Alongside your other favourite years, you‘ll mention the age you are entering today. “XX was a higlight year, I love diving back into its memories.”
What made this year stand out deliciously beautifully?

Suppose there’s a part inside you whose longings you’ve been ignoring without knowing any better. A part that wants to be heard.
