The year 2016 took a turn for a different direction for a lot of us. Whether that be a positive direction or more of a negative one. You can never predict on January 1st what the next 365 days are going to bring to your life. It's a new book with 365 pages so you have to sit back and read each page a day at a time:

I learned many life lessons this year. I lost people, I gained people, I experienced heartache, love, and much much more. I lost my best friend this year because I made a decision. Whether you or someone else thought that decision was right, I made it with my best judgement. Losing her was extremely hard, I beat myself up for awhile but as time past I realized everything happens for a reason. I lost more friends as the year went by, and to say that, that did not suck would have been an understatement. I brought myself down, blaming it all on myself. I had no idea how or what I could have done. I always tried to help others and be the best friend I could be for others. This year taught me that the friends you once had may not be the friends you are suppose to continue growing with.

I become ill this year. I spent more then half this year with no answers and no communication from my doctors. I still will be entering the new year with no answers. It has been tough. When I became ill that is when I began losing a lot of friends and the communication I had with others broke off. I began to rely on my family and boyfriend for the support I needed to get through everything. They became the only ones I had and I accepted that. I became so grateful for them. You never realize how much people take their health for granted until you are unaware of what is wrong with you and you now have limitations then no one wants to speak to you or do anything. You no longer exist.

This year blessed me also. I gained the most amazing boyfriend who has been one of my rocks through everything. He brought so much positivity in my life. He is no where near perfect but he perfect for me. I am so happy to have be able to have taken on the challenges on 2016 with him and to be enter a new year with him. He was my gain for those who I lost.

Many people made post these past few weeks as to how 2016 was terrible or probably one of the worst years for them. Each year is going to be filled with happiness, sadness, mystery, hardship, challenges and more. It is now how it happened but how you handled it. Some of us do not have the privilege to have another year to make it a better year or even a better day. This year may not have been the brightest of years but just don't forget what you have and that you are here.
