And yeah, that's all.
Thanks for coming along this ride and I will see you next year.
I remember maybe it was about 10 years ago when I started doing past year reviews instead of New Year's resolutions.

The slight battery drains that seemed consistent over time, activities and people.
And in addition to that, and I joked with a friend of mine at one point, I said, you know what I should create as a journal?
Because people love journals.
Everybody's putting out a journal.
I was like, let me just add to the noise.
But my journal will be
Something like worries that mostly didn't come true, where you just look back at the things that you were worried about.
And so I do this when I look back at the calendar and just what a tiny fraction of the whole, the smallest percentage that actually become a problem.
And that gives you, I would say, two insights for me.
And I need to constantly remind myself of this because I'm hypervigilant and actually tend to see the world as like full of danger, strangers you can't trust, et cetera.
