Where did 2022 come from? From 2021. From sentiments like these, which reverberated within all year long:
I’ve come to realise that there is no way to make amends with the many people I have wronged over the years.

Blog posts throughout that year document an urge to make amends. It all seemed so urgent and desperate then. Was I suffering from depression or some kind of bout of anxiety? It’s possible, for it all seems so odd today.
It’s true. I’ve been time-travelling again, prising open doors that were never properly closed. Now an inner voice rebukes me.

2023 begins with more positivity. Where does this come from? Yes, from all of the self-exploration and re-evaluation which characterised last year’s writing.
Perhaps I had to fly off the rails in 2021 in order to recalibrate for the road ahead. Perhaps I had to spend 2022 taking stock and attempting to make sense of the road to this point, in order to reboot and reset. And so we journey on.
