It's been a while hasn't it? What's new? How's the family!? All irony aside, I'm not totally disengaged with myself, yet nonetheless, typing furiously onto the internet 6 months ago seems like a long distant memory. But here I am, doing it all over again with a new enthusiasm, in a new city, with a renewed sense of 'I can'; in many ways, a

Dear Me,
You made it. It's time to stop thinking about doing things and start engaging. It's time to realise that you can no longer be consumed by that nagging personal perception of doubt, there's a little bit of special in there somewhere. Do the scary things, take the opportunities, do the things you love.
As your old man would say, get your arse into gear girl.
From Me.
