If you ask any of my friends how I feel about Cardiff, they'll tell you in no uncertain terms that I love it here. Ever since I moved to Wales six years ago for university, the city has been my home and I owe almost everything I have - my friends, my partner, my job - to it.
I'm certainly not alone in my love for Cardiff. As someone whose job it is to cover the goings-on in the capital every single day, I know there are so many fantastic things happening across the city. From inspirational individuals to heart-warming projects and initiatives, it is a place that, most of the time, I really feel privileged to live and work in.
However, there are times when I feel quite the opposite.
