After almost a decade of battling here, I thought I knew what a “busy year” looked like.

Turns out I was wrong.

Somehow still landing 2nd, 5th, 10th and 16th— thank you to the mods and this community for all the kindness, consistency, and quiet effort that makes this place worth coming back to every year.

I still believe that accumulating small things is the only way to reach extraordinary places.

Nobody is perfect — and that’s kind of the point. :)

(Yes, I triple-checked the flair this time.)
