• Five things 2019-2023

While preparing my next 101 in 1001 list, I may have stumbled upon my old five things lists and decided that I miss them somewhat, so here I am.

January⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀一月

• Spent some quality time with my mom during the New Year. Rewatched Rise of the Guardians after a long time, but I realised that the movie is a lot better in Portuguese. Went to the movie theatre with A., which, now I know, would soon become a mistake. Got my driver's license! Gabs and I visited her sister (Gi) and painted kitchen towels. Ale, Gus and I watched Queer (2024), "I'm not queer, I'm disembodied". I obsessed over Epic: The Musical.
