"My Way" Frank Sinatra

Lyrics:

I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

The song "My Way" by Frank Sinatra describes my 2024 year because it's showing the act of going your own way. I spent the year doing things how I wanted it, not following someone else's. This year has been a great visual of self-discovery.
