A lovely post, Owen. Here's to more daydreaming, playing and experimenting without judging ourselves - and the outcome of our creativity - too harshly! Happy New Year!
My “easy life” dream is to open a combination cafe/wine bar/bookstore, probably in the Dandenong Mountains, but I realise I would need to be independently wealthy to the point where it wouldn’t matter if the business were, like, 50k in the red every month. Which it almost certainly would be.

Thank you! Really glad you connected with it, and all the best for 2026.
Couldn't have picked a better first read of 2026.
Happy new year to all the daydreamers.
Much appreciated. Have a great year.
A great post, it would an almond croissant? I hope. 😊
Thank you! And absolutely, if that's your favourite.

And therein lies the rub. But still good to imagine it.
