Warning: This is kind of long (and mostly unedited)…
So, despite the strange way 2019 is starting out, I am beyond glad to have seen 2018 come to an end.
The year 2018 was a veritable shitstorm (dumpster fire is too neatly contained)—and more volatile than the current stock market. What could go wrong went wrong; when something went right, it felt as though it came at considerable cost.
