The 2024 Wrap Up – Happy New Year

| Directed By Bex

I can’t believe that it’s 2025. Wow. It’s been a year since I’ve posted anything here and honestly, I’ve been a bit sparse on all my social media in 2024. I’ve been struggling more than I want to admit with my mental health and my personal life. I wanted 2024 to be a year of so much growth, of so much adventure, and the reality is that it was more about learning to live while grieving and learning to be as compassionate to myself as I am to others.

2020: A Year I Could Do Without

| Directed By Bex

It’s finally here! The end of a year that I thought was supposed to be an amazing one. 2019 set it up to be great. The plants of an epic plotline for 2020 were placed. There were supposed to be big trips, big work events, and more character development! But it only took a few days, six to be exact, for that illusion of a better year to come crashing down.

2013: A Year in Review

| Directed By Bex

This last year is what I am calling the year of lost adventures. It’s not that there weren’t adventures. There definitely were as this post will prove, but rather that my blogging skills this year were rather lost. I had ideas of photography projects and writing projects that didn’t pan out for various reasons. So it seems fitting to call 2013 the year of lost adventures. Anyway, without further ado, here is the year in review for 2013. It is full of adventures and I can only hope that 2014 holds just as many.

| Directed By Bex

An update to this blog is way overdue. My apologies for not doing it sooner. For now, I start by saying that 2012 was a year that was everything I wanted and more. If this was truly going to be the end of the world, this is how I would have wanted to go out…not with a fizzle, but with a giant bang.

Here we are last New Year's Eve welcoming in 2012!
Here we are last New Year’s Eve welcoming in 2012!

Rewind to January of 2012. As January 1 of 2012 began to rise, I found myself at home in Baltimore with my parents and many of my friends. 2011 had been a blast and 2012 held promise that it would be better than any previous year. And sure enough, it was.
