The best of the best - so long 2024 🥳

THE BEST OF 2024 //

It was a hell of a year.

While we most certainly have a lot to reflect on (which we’ll do a bit of below), it’s an even better time to refract.

Plenty transpired in 2024 and each and every one of us ought to be better for it. In many ways, 2024 proved to us that the hard times will not outlast the good ones. That we’re not done. That we haven’t seen the best of times. In fact, it’s only proven that they have yet to come.

And that should gives us all a hell of a lot to look forward to.

So, before we go and grab 2025 by the throat and make it our bi*ch, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and a quick tour of some of last year’s highlights.

Thanks again to each and every one of you that continues reading along with us on a daily basis.

We’ll see you out there in 2025 🥃
