or so they say

It's been a pretty chaotic time for me recently. There's been quite a bit of change in my life. Which is good; I'm okay with change. I've realised a few things too, which I often do. One, that work has swallowed a lot of my year this year and as a result my writing has suffered. Two, that I've become more placid, less easily stressed, or perhaps less concerned about getting things right. Next year I hope to build on that, build more balance into my life, put myself ...
