I have astoundingly - from my point of view I might first mention - managed to grow up in the last year. I have a new found stability and control over my life and self. I've come to be at peace with daily challenges as opposed to worrying over the progress of the bigger picture, which for someone as susceptible to 'the dark' as I, can be daunting and overwhelming. Distance. Time. Peace. Perspective. All are/have been tonics to me.
