Can you believe we’re almost another year down? And we still don’t have time travel and teleportation?! I thought this was supposed to be the future! I think a little time travel could have helped us out immensely this year too, it was a bit of a rollercoaster one, so much happened it’s hard to believe it all fit into 365 days! With still a few days left until the clock chimes us into the next one too, who knows what else this year will bring us!
