Reclaiming My Future

It’s been an eye-opening year for me in so many ways. In January I joined Twitter. Well, I’d joined twitter in March the year before actually but couldn’t be bothered with it…yeah I know, I’m a dumbass. So in January I sent a tweet. Then I got a reply. Then I got some followers and [...]
