PRECIOUS POLAROIDS - TIM'S 2024

"It's been another busy year, as always. With it coming to an end so soon, I'm reminded that time waits for no bear! I can't say I accomplished as much as I wished to this year. Though, when has anyone ever? New Year's resolutions are a joke, and goals are made to be pushed until they can't be delayed any further. Moving into New Bao City had been yet another one of those eternally stopped goals... Until now! It already feels like home. Is that strange?"

"A change of scenery always means a change of the folks around, too. I had the pleasure of meeting the city's most renowned detective, Bearlock. Upon our first introduction, I wondered if, perhaps, he was merely the city's only detective. It's quite hard to not be well known if you're the only bear providing a specific service. I'm undecided on the validity of this hypothesis yet. I need to spend more time around him to uncover the truth. Thus, the invitation to coffee. I wouldn't say he wasn't fine company- Don't tell him I said that."

"And finally, the new year itself. Someone in my neightborhood organized a block party for the night. I hadn't planned to attend. That is, until the fireworks woke me up around 10'oclock. By that point, it was useless to try to sleep again... Despite my headache the next morning, it was a very nice party. Aime's odd photo found itself slipped into my pocket, during the night's festivities? It's a strange picture. I'm not sure how long it's been, since the last time I smiled like that."

"Oops. Went on a bit longer than anticipated. Happy New Year. Stay warm, and we'll see one another in #2025. Is that a hashtag? Should it be? I'm leaving it in. #2025NewBearsEve "
