Bloody hell, what a year it has been. Maybe you drunk texted your ex or splurged on a glassblowing workshop that you could not actually afford. There are some regrets for sure, but instead of mulling over past, you can now read about some 2019 experiences other people wish they could forget - and those they wish to cherish, because no matter where you are in life, the past 12 months have brought you something good!

In December we asked you to anonymously tell us about your happiest moments, as well as your worst regrets and memories of 2019. And the answers we received proved just what a life you are living. This post is for all of you nosey people out there - and for those of you who want to see if anyone had a more crappy year than you. Enjoy this and illustrations by Iben April Hegreberg!
