Wooo So this year is almost over! I know for so many people this seems like the end of the world. We have lost some amazing people this year as well as had some terrible things happen. However... this has been the best year of my life in a long while.
Has it been an A+ perfect year. Pfft fuck no there were some rocks in the road but when I think back typing this now. All I can do is smile. SO much has happened to me in the means of growth. Everyone seems to focus on the negatives so often. I know I used to but trying to think of all of the positives this year. They just outway the shitty ones. Which I will list off! As well as what I hope to get done in 2017.
- I moved out of my parents house. ( yes living with my In-Laws have been it's own sort of hell. But we needed this baby step to help push us along faster. )
- I learned how to drive + got a car. ( which has been a freedom in its own right )
- I dyed my hair fun colors again. ( which I do miss )
- I gained a lot more self confidence in myself.
- I read 75 books this year. ( granted most were free review copies but still! )
- I got to meet Art idols of mine since middle school AND they knew who I was.
