2018 has been a year. I’m lucky that the brunt of negative energy bypassed me throughout most of those 12 months, and I’ve almost always had something wonderful to look forwards to to offset the impending sense of doom. I’ve also been #blessed to have such a great group of friends / support network around me, which is something to really be cherished when you’re trying to stay sane in a different country, and all you want in a mum-hug, but your mum is the other side of the world, 8 or 9 hours behind, and has never been to the country you’re in. It’s not exactly the same, but choosing your friends, and them being absolute champs and standup members of society and just all around wonderful when you’re not sure if your concern is legitimate or absolute raging bullsh*t… well. I intend to keep this lot forever.

This isn’t really ‘a year in review’ for a couple of reasons. The main two are obvious: I’ve been pants with the blog, and I haven’t really got a lot to say about my ~achievements~ across the last year. I grew a lot (personally, not height-wise); I feel more settled and like I am slightly better at this adult thing; I went to Japan twice; I moved into Seoul with all these plans… And then none of them really came to fruition. My creative goals all but fell flat.
