Reading: Before I Die - Jenny Downham
Listening to: All Of Yours - Making April
Wishing: next year will be as good as this one

This year has been the best of my life. I let go. I found myself. I grew some confidence. I got an awesome haircut. I made new friends. I gained a purpose. I found my direction. I saw some brilliant bands. I met my idols. I laughed. I danced. I jumped. I didn't fail. I survived.

I also read thirty books, thirty one if you include rereading Harry Potter 7.
