How did he do? As is customary at the start of a new year, the media have been full of predictions about what may happen in the months ahead.

You may not be her first, her last, or her only.... - QuoteSwagga “You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect—you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can.
