I may have a more pessimistic (realistic) view of the world, but it is important to understand that the busy 365-day cycle that restarts each year always comes with an air of hope and opportunity. I have had to step away from social media to attend things that are truly important in my life, this whole hiatus has brought me a series of revelations that I am ready to share in the form of audiovisual conclusions of high value, this illustration is an allegory of how painful the passage of time has been for me in 2023, I just hope that the capricious roulette of life does not give me a losing number again for this year 2024.
