As the new decade started, and the world seems to be entering complete chaos I’m still wondering what to do with this space. Completely self-centred. And who am I kidding, haven’t we always been living in a state of chaos?
I’d like to look back on the past decade the way I previously would look back on a month. Just for old times’ sake, and maybe a little inspiration for myself. Of course I’m cheating my way out of it, as the things I’ve listed may not actually been made in the past 10 years — but they shaped my past 10 years in one way or another. I call them the most watched/best as I’m not sure what to call them. Here goes nothing!

About this space, I think I’ll keep in on! Still for my own personal recollection and keeping myself accountable for exploring my interests. Even though I am terrified by the thought of people reading this (I know, why publish this online then?), sometimes it’s good to keep putting yourself outside your comfort zone. And where else would I be able to share my shenanigans of my new new years resolution? Which, by the by, is making 12 pasta’s. I mean, who said resolutions can’t be fun?
