Wow, where did this year go? Besides 2021 being much more disappointing (in many regards) as expected, it also disappeared in a blink of an eye, right? I know I say that so often that I can’t believe how fast the time goes, but this time it is really, really...

I cannot believe how fast 2019 came and went. If I had to sum the year up in a few words, it would be the year of reuniting with family and friends. I got to go to Germany in the spring to see one of my best friends get married, I...
