Greetings! It's the last week of 2021! This has recently become my favorite time of the year because it's the end of the year, where everything ends. It's a nostalgic period, where one gets to look back on everything over the past 365 days. Maybe you have some accomplishments you're proud of or maybe you're just glad you pulled through some hard times.
