2016 was the year of the unexpected. It is amazing to me on how much you can really grow as a person within just one year. This year is a year I would consider as a stepping stone year so many lessons were taught this year. I had many things happen that I never thought would happen all in one year. I am happy they did happen because these events will make me who I am in 2017.
This year I fell in love. I entered 2016 not expecting for this to happen, I guess the world decided that it was time for me to experience this. Which I am happy that it did. Falling in love taught me many things about myself that I didn't even know. I learned what it is like to truly care for a person, I learned about self-worth and that the best relationships come together when you are least expecting them to. Opening up to love opened many doors for me this year, I made new friends, I learned new things and I now appreciate life in a different way.
Another lesson I learned this past year is to not dwell on everything. This is life, unfortunately, we do not get to control everything that goes on in this world. You just have to learn how to be excepting and understand that everyone does have a purpose in this world. This year I have finally discovered the reason why I am here it is still a process in the making not every question has been answered, but it is great to see my life falling into place and following a great direction.
Life really does have a plan for everyone and you can't push that plan. It will happen when it happens.
Every year is a new year and you never know what is in store, which is the exciting part of it all. This year I got to travel through Europe which is a trip I will never forget and I hope that there will be more Europe trips to come. I do recommend adding a trip to Europe on your bucket list for this year if it isn't on your list already.
Take a deep breath in and smile this year is going to be a year filled with joy.
Happy 2017!
