2011 was a strange time. It’s difficult for me to look back on the beginning of the year with an unclouded mind - things just seem to have happened so long ago. It feels like another life, another person. I know it’s cliched, and I know it makes me sound more pretentious than I usually do, but I genuinely feel as though I’ve grown or changed or matured a great deal in the past few months. I’m not the same person as I was back at the beginning of 2011, and I’m so grateful for that. I finally feel like I’m in a position to be doing something worthwhile with my life. I feel like I’m surrounded by people who are full of worth themselves, which is a real novelty to me. 2012 will be a good year, I hope. I’m not one for making grand resolutions, but I believe now more than ever that, in the words of the great Sam Cooke, a change is gonna come..
