Good job team! I also published A LOT this year, and I made huge leaps forward in terms of my artistic ability. What I did not keep track of is how many toxic people I cut out of my life, how many emails from idiots I made an executive decision to ignore, and how many mean, petty, and ignorant assholes I blocked on social media. This year I reconfirmed my belief that life is too short for stupid bullshit, and I was much happier for it. May there be more joy and positive energy in 2019, and may we all continue stand strong against unfairness and injustice.
