2009 was a year of surprises and not all good. Well for me anyway. I kinda felt it was disheartening, dis-empowering and disillusioning. It started, as all years do, with so much promise and ended up being one of the most disappointing years of my life. This is no exaggeration. It’s a year I felt like I had a grasp of the reigns and then I guess I squeezed too hard. Yet it had some major plus points, some great times, new friends, amazing new experiences and some mammoth challenges which I’m sure will make me a better person: ) I guess the music I was listening to will reflect the roller coaster that was 2009. It’s been emotional. Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.
