HERE we are again — a year that went a little too quickly for some, a little too rocky for others.

Wut the eff did I just read?

WHICH colour ink do I prefer to write in?

The funny thing is many people say my handwriting looks wonderful in black, which is not my preference but I have nothing against it.
It’s blue, but looks too dark because of my potato-quality phone camera
