Goodbye 2020 & Hello 2021
Time has come! 2020 is about to be over. With the latest chapter coming up, I want to reflect on 2020 with the projects that I haven’t done before, which I share with you. I have lost count of how many times I have read many inspiring blog posts and found myself admiring their contents.
