And now, the leap year is slipping away—the very one that, once every four years, gives us an extra turn in the cycle of life. A year with an extra day—it sounds like a bonus, but who said we know how to spend it? Maybe it’s a chance to leave a little more unsaid, undone, or even mysterious.

I always thought of a leap year as an unexpected twist in a book, where the author adds a few pages at the most intriguing moment. But what if it’s also an invitation for something greater? We leave it behind, but it’s at its turning point that the coming year winks at us—with promises of new adventures and opportunities.

Imagine if every year could speak. What would departing 2024 say? “It was fun, hang tight, the best is yet to come”? Or maybe, “Sorry for the extra February, but it was just a warm-up for the real action”?

So, here’s what I’ve been thinking: let’s make 2025 start with a challenge—leap into it with the energy as if it, too, were a leap year. Extra day or not, what matters is how you live it. So, who’s with me?
