With the new year with us already, it always makes one reflect and look back on all that happened throughout the year and on what to look for in the new year. I will not derogate to the rule.

So what’s happened in 2008?

1. Some difficult times when (and after) I decided to end a long distance relationship.
2. A lot of hard work, party (or mostly?!) to compensate for the void left.
3. Changes at work: more responsibilities, different type of work. Probably due to my hard work.
4. Some very good times with friends, including a lot of memorable moments with my flatmates.
5. Turning 29 (the last one before the big one).
6. Some travel: France (obviously), Columbia (wicked awesome ), Cape Town (wicked awesome++ ).
7. Becoming an uncle for the second time, this time a girl (Jade).
8. Some mistakes…who doesn’t make a few .
9. And a realisation! A realisation that things can be different and that it’s only up to me.

So what’s to come? Well, I could make a (very) long list of things I’d like to do or change this year but I will concentrate on one: letting people in. For a long time I haven’t let anyone get too close to me. This has to change. It’s already changing…

PS: Happy New Year!
