Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2022:
If it sucks, fuckin' leave.
Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I was living in the delta
Wasting most of my time
You know if I could close the blinds right
I could sleep all through the night
But I've seen the tides are rising
Where once there was a shore
I can still remember houses
Stripped to the floor
