It’s my 27th birthday today. Three to the power of three someone told me last night. It feels like quite a remarkable milestone, one I’ve been looking forward too. I hope to see some of my dearest friends and family this evening for a celebratory drink.

A quick year in review? Anything before the last 6 months has been a blur. Without a doubt I’ve had some of the most fun I’ve ever had and met some of the craziest, coolest and most beautiful people in this time, and stayed in touch with some of the gems I’ve found along the way. The power of people has not seized to amaze me, and for that I’m deeply grateful.

The next 12 months holds great excitement for me because I’m going to try really hard to refocus on my passions like writing, programming, music, design and the great outdoors. I’m aware that it will take lots of hard work, but everybody knows hard work will get you there at the end of the day.
