I have not talked to y’all in quite some time. It has been nearly a year since I have made a blog post. My goal is to get back into blogging a little more consistently. I absolutely love writing and want to get back to it. With that being said, I wanted to share with you twenty-two things I learned in 2022. In no particular order, here is what I learned:

  1. Privacy is peace.
