This article was created on December 28, 2023, originally published on my own blog platform, constantly improving the blog's code while updating the articles. However, there are always various reasons that prompt me to give up, and in the end, I just gave up 😮💨.

Prologue#
How should I describe the past year... Let me first wish myself a happy birthday.
Originally, I planned to write down every detail of what happened in 2023 by looking through photos, expense records, exercise logs, and various annual reports. But when I sat down to write the first paragraph, thinking that these might be seen by others, I deleted and rewrote them.
Main Content#
- Took a solo road trip
- Removed braces
- Had a minor surgery
- Bought a mirrorless camera
- Enrolled in a guitar course
- Social interactions became simpler
Epilogue#
This year, I saw a screenshot of a quote from Yu Hua, tried to find its source, and it should be from Kazuo Inamori
When interacting with others, speak less and restrain the desire to express. Stay calm and gentle, neither inferior nor boastful. Don't talk endlessly about the past just to gain resonance. Qualities unintentionally displayed are more likable when discovered by others, surpassing a thousand words. Think carefully, every time you talk endlessly, it brings not regret. Silence has long been a virtue.
— Kazuo Inamori
A gift to my future self
