And here I am.
It was an intense year:
- I have moved house twice
- I've loved and almost lost
- I spent 8 months living in the most crazy and interesting abode I have ever encountered
And through it all, I've grown closer to a wonderful and eccentric group of of friends. This city has become my home, with all of it's glory and horror. It's streets and train tracks have etched themselves into my mind, and it's people have forged a place in my heart.
This year has seen so many wonders; The Arab spring, the populace-driven revolutions of Egypt and Libya, and the birth of the world-wide anti-corporate movement, under the banner of Occupy.
This same coin has a darker side; The assault on Wikileaks, the Egyptian Military's refusal to relinquish judiciary power, and laws being put in place in America that could easily path the way for the most frightening, violent and oppressive regime that this world has seen since Nazi Germany it's self.
Whatever happens, wherever we go, the future will be interesting. We each have our parts to play within it. The actions that we take, both as individuals and as a species, will echo through the halls of history.
The world is ours, if we chose to create it.
Best of luck in your endeavors,
C.
