Merry Christmas you big poopie!!
It’s been one heck of a year hasn’t it? Since the beginning, we learned that this year was going to be a challenging one. But after a dark, prolonged quarantine of a global pandemic, we are greeted by the warmth of Christmas lights. While the world is recovering from its turmoil, we’ve also had our own to work with. This is the first year that we spend together as a long-distanced couple despite not feeling that way since I’m in Seattle. We had a turbulent start in the beginning of it and we are still trying to figure out how to manage this thing called a relationship.
Despite all the hardships, it seems like we are slowly figuring it out. We are starting to trust each other more and learn about how we can continue building on this relationship. I hope that we can continue to grow together as a couple and thus– for this year’s gift, I curated the 10 people that you should follow & 10 startups you should pay attention to, along with a sturdy pair of shoes that will take you to new places in 2021.
It’s been a challenging year indeed. From Kobe’s tragic death, RBG’s passing, the wildfires in Australia, and a giant explosion in Beirut, to a global pandemic and a recession that followed, thank you for being the unwithering source of light in my life and keeping me sane throughout my awkward, introverted period.
I hope that we can make the world a bit brighter together in the upcoming year.
Love,
John
