dolariThe Jenn Dolari 2025 One Sentence Year In Review
2025 has been a rough year, and also a very good year. I have a job that I not only truly enjoy, but it enjoys me, unlike Nintendo. It's not easy work, but it is enjoyable work, and it's also hard work.
Most of the year was dominated with a election run, and rebuilding my finances, two things which do not be compatible. I lost the election, and I learned a lot from the experience (good and bad), but thats behind me now.
But there is something else that has completely domiated the year. And maybe, one day, I'll talk about it. Just to clarify, the year in the quote? 2024.
"She's that little souvenir of a terrible year, which makes me smile inside." --The Sundays, "Here's Where the Story Ends." (a little edited)
2024: We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people.
2023: All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.
2022: Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly and most underrated agent of human change.
2021: The Universe has decided otherwise.
2020: I AM looking on the bright side, and it's dark...very dark.
2019: Never push a loyal person to the point where they no longer care.

2017: He's very brave and very silly and I think, for a time he's going to be very sad, but I promise, in the end, he'll be alright.
2016: Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams...and against this peril we can never surrender.
2015: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2014: Sometimes, by losing a battle, you find a new way to win the war.
2013: All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
2012: Here at last, on the shores of the sea, comes the end of our Fellowship.
2011: Seeking to forget makes exile all the longer; the secret of redemption lies in remembrance.
2010: Sometimes life has a way of moving you past wants and hopes.
2009: FINEST K.O....YOU LOSE.
2008: Jump...Jump now!
2007: Darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
2006: The show must go on.
2005: What to have, what to hold: A poor man's roses, or a rich man's gold.
2004: You like me! You really like me!
2003: Once more...with feeling!
2002: Wow...that could have gone better.
2001: I hope you die and get ate by worms, Milkman Dan.
