2023
2022 was a transitional year for me. I moved out of my parent's house in California and went to Boston for work. It was the first full calendar year since elementary school in which I was not a student. I seriously changed my eating and exercise habits, which improved my physical and mental health. I made reading a bigger part of my life and reconnected with sports and old friends.
