Dec 11, 2016 – [Sunday] WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: New Horizon

Bordeaux, France, taken on May 18, 2012

With a new year comes a new horizon and new hope. I’m currently on holiday and have forgotten everything about work with the intention to empty my brain and start afresh in 2017.

Waterloo, Canada, taken on June 19, 2010

Almost 6 years ago, I stepped out of university as a “bright-eyed graduate” with a “brilliant future”, like everyone else in the crowd. Well…at least that’s what they said. Was my future “brilliant” if today is the future of days past?
