Naturally, she has a beautiful and poetic take on the gravity and pressures of January which I can&rsquo;t pretend to imitate, but in amongst her thoughts is her drive to &ldquo;turn back and appreciate what [she] did in 2022&rdquo;.</p> <p>This stuck with me in a way I couldn&rsquo;t immediately put my finger on. Mulling on it, I realised that a lot of parts of my life had came to a close all at once at the tail of last year, leaving me in a weird, transitional place. Meanwhile I entered 2023 rather disoriented; bleary-eyed and a little burnt out trying to neatly tie up my postdoc, the passage of the Bells never quite registered for me. I&rsquo;ve had more time to myself since starting my new post, and thought it&rsquo;d help me to reflect on some of the things I&rsquo;ve completed &ndash; to turn back and appreciate 2022.</p>
