Hello, my friends.
The year 2025 began as every year should begin, with joy and surrounded by family and friends.
Back then, all my wishes for this year came true.
And so it was.
I don't say this out of vanity, I deny it, but because I've worked hard and strived to achieve it. The road hasn't been easy since that first coffee I bought. But no path that helps us grow as people is easy. It's the difficulties and challenges that make us grow as human beings.
And I don't just mean that I've grown as a concert guitarist, but I've also grown up here on Hive. It was in January 2025 that I started on Web3, right here.
In fact, Cinnamon Cup Coffee was one of the first communities where I introduced myself.
Since that first coffee—which was also my first introduction—I made it my mission to visit and share with you all the coffee shops where I would have coffee.
And I've kept my promise.
Throughout the year, I've traveled to several provinces in my country, and in each one, I've visited at least one coffee shop and reviewed them in this community.
Thanks to you all, I've discovered this passion for writing short reviews about coffee shops and coffee. Suddenly, I discovered another calling and a new love.
So, the person I am today is completely different from the person who had that first coffee in January.
I've grown in every way.
It wasn't an easy year for anyone, but I can't complain: I started it surrounded by friends and family, and I'm going to end it the same way, but happier.
I hope everyone can say the same.
