I would usually write an upshot post about the past year on the 31st of December, but this time the cadence was upset by the tragic events happened right before.
One wants to believe 2021 will be better than the last one, simply as it’s hard to imagine how it can prove worse, yet there’s no improvement in sight just yet.
Anyway, there’s this tradition and I want to focus on positive things, which in fact dominated my past year, save for the one mentioned above.
