2016 you began extremely cruel, and un-fair. I kept running and hitting the ground, for the first few months. How naive was I to think that was the end of it... Sadly, it continued throughout the year as I started figuring the number of people who will really be there cut out not even in half or quarter. They cut out to very few.
2016 you have shown me how fragile and helpless we could be against life and circumstances. You have shown me despite the fake smiles we use to face hardships, how important it is to feel everything. And that hardships are a part of life even if some of us don’t admit to them. Quite honestly your losses are irreplaceable.
2016 you also showed me that once you take the challenge to follow through a dream, so many paths and opportunities just open up as you go along. You feel your eyes have opened to a whole new world and you get this immense support along the way which just proves to you that no dream is old enough to be achieved. It’s hard to ignore your inner critic and keep moving along a project that you can’t explain to the people around you yet. But, I certainly believe that it’s even harder not to try in the first place. It’s harder on the long run to let fear paralyze you and pretend you wouldn’t like to try to take that first step.
2016 You’ve showed me that our past and our mistakes don’t have to always weigh us down. You have powered me with this immense strength to get back up, and that’s the top thing on my list that I will be carrying with me into 2017.
