2016,

You have been without a doubt filled with many ups and downs. There were trials and there were triumphs and sometimes you should've been over before it was time, but regardless of the moment you came and you conquered.

Thank you. Thank you for your countless opportunities. Thank you for teaching me the meaning of the word friend, for letting me explore, and for all of the adventures along the way. Most importantly thank you for the trials. There isn't any year that won't have trials, however I will always be thankful for them. This year wasn't the best for me and others around me, however I am beyond thankful for what the hard times have taught me. It has showed me who my real friends are, it has given me opportunities that I never would have gotten without the trials. Thank you to the people that have stayed by my side, and for those who have left.

2016, you have taken a lot away but have given a lot more. For now, Good riddance and here's to 2017, a new year with more doors to open and more adventures to go on.
