I hope that everyone blooms fully and beautifully in the year 25! I can also feel fully intact that the year 25 will be a very important year for me amidst the flow of nature. And I’ll show (you all) a lot of (various) things! In a way that’s a bit more mature and suits me well, I’m trying to approach this with a plan that will provide everyone satisfaction!”
