It's been awhile...

New resolution: I will try to write for at least half an hour everyday. In some way shape or form.*

I've missed this. I'm not the most creative person but I always liked writing as a way to express myself. More often than not, it serves as my channel for catharsis.

Quick recap of major events since October 2009:

• I fell in love and had my first proper relationship. We're no longer together and it was a really intense period in my life, but despite all the crazy and honestly depressing things that happened, I'm still really glad it happened. I learned a lot about love, women and myself, and when we were good, we were amazing. That's what I'm going to take away from it.

• I visited the city of my dreams and lived there for seven whole weeks. New York was everything I wanted it to be. I think I was tailor-made for NYC, given that three of the biggest aspects of the city's urban culture (basketball, hip-hop and sneakers) are three of my favourite things in life. I'll be back soon, I promise.

• I graduated and earned my degree. And then I was brought back to Earth by the reality of looking for work. Luckily, after eight long months, I finally got a break. I've been at my current role for over a year now. It hasn't been perfect, but I love everyone that I work with. I'll have to move on eventually, though. That'll be a sad day!

• I joined a gym. This wouldn't be a major thing for some people, but coming from someone who used to be a tub and refused to do any exercise other than basketball, this was a big step. I grew up with hilariously bad eating habits, and I don't want to carry that into adulthood. I want to be healthier.

I know that there's plenty more that's happened over the past twentyfive months, but those are the biggest things I can think of, or am willing to write about.

It's a good start. It's great to be back.
