Last year was an excellent for me.
It began with pretty bad depression, a painful back condition that had still not been diagnosed after 2-3 years, recently been kicked out of college for the second time, particularly lonely and still without a serious relationship, the realisation that I'd recently squandered what was perhaps my only chance (albeit a small one) at fulfilling one of my ambitions.
It ended on a fantastic high, regular, relatively simple, effective medication for my now diagnosed condition, living with the love of my life in a new country that I've never experienced before, other than coming over earlier this year for my partner's birthday. A whole new host of ambitions, opportunities and potential friends are now at my fingertips for 2008.
365 days ago I felt like ending my life, today it feels as if I'm still breaking a new one out of the packaging. A new life that I get to share with someone I never thought existed and something that I never thought was possible.
