Cyclical

It's pretty depressing when you realise the same shit is happening again. As much as I'd like to break the cycle, it always rounds back to the same (or similar) outcome. And then I know it's time to press the refresh button and purge the past. The cycles seem to get shorter as I mature. Maybe I get better at identifying the early signals and thus I start the purging process earlier than waiting until shit hits the fan.

In between

Many times I seem to be an outlier, not by choice but by circumstances. Slightly off centre, never entirely with the flow of the majority. But not too far off to be considered eccentric.

The year that was - 2018

I'm not a goal setting kind of person and I did not set any for last year. But in the course of events that unfolded, 2018 has been a challenging year (in a good way mostly).
