We saw the war in Ukraine, the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, worldwide droughts, floods, the COVID crisis, and other tragedies. But like the silver lining, we also saw Britain elect their very first Prime Minister of colour, we saw the first FIFA World Cup hosted in the Middle East during winter, we saw Apple become the first $3 trillion company, and we saw Lionel Messi win his first World Cup in the first Argentinian win since 1986. All in all, 2022 was an emotionally charged year for everyone around the world.
