A good read: ‘What did you encounter this year that truly moved you?’ by Sari Azout

2025 was the year everything became available, and almost nothing felt meaningful.

everything is available but nothing feels profound. thousands of fascinating things in front of us but none of it transforms. when was the last time your phone gave you goosebumps?

So I thought what better way to start the year than to ask: What did you encounter in 2025 that truly moved you?
