Saying Goodbye to 2016

For my last post of 2016, I wanted to take the time and reflect on this past year. What I've accomplished, what I've learnt, what I've started, what has happened, but most importantly, what my goals are for 2017.

I believe you can never truly accomplish something, and I know this seems negative but hear me out: If you have ''accomplished'' cleaning your room, it serves nothing if you are not willing to keep working on keeping it clean, or if you have conquered a fear, you must keep facing it when it appears again, you can't just run away. So the things I have accomplished keep coming and going, so I can not really list them, but I can say I have found many meanings of things and that is an accomplishment I will never forget.

I have also learnt alot, like who my true friends are and how to tell if they are not. I also discovered, at many occasions that if I put my head to it, I can do many things, and that means alot to me. With the beginning of the school year, I have also learnt what working hard really means, but explaining that would be very long, since it basically took me a lifetime to understand it.  This is only a little part of my new knowledge, but I think the most important thing I learnt is what I have to work on next year.

I guess I can say I have started some stuff this year, but that is only half of it, I have been able to continue them. Like journaling, every night or so, I take a moment to reflect on my emotions, my day, the days to come, etc. If you saw my last post, you would know that I have been working out everyday since December 1st,I love it. I have also started new friendships that are better for me, I kind of have a different way of seeing my life and the world, and yesterday, I started a book, that I hope to be able to continue, with as much love as I have started it. Hopefully you will be able to see it come to life eventually. Last but not least, I have started a blog.

So many things have happened, good and bad, long and short, happy and mad all through the year, reviewing everything, would take around 21 weeks since it's the stuff of a whole year, but know that I am thankful for every moment.

And finally, my goals for 2017. All my life I never really knew what I ''wanted'' or where I was really going. Well actually I had many ideas, that this year I kind of turned down, but anyways, that meant that I never really had true resolutions or goals. This year is different, these past months I have really been working on improving...myself. I realised there were many things I wanted to start, but to truly start, I had to continue, and to continue, I needed consistency, which is a skill that I have worked on, and I have seen extreme progress. I have made changes that have improved me so much and now I just want to continue that. I discovered you don't need to always have a futuristic plan to set yourself a goal, you can just aim for improvement and take baby steps. So for this next year I will be working on priorities, time management, accomplishment, tidiness, and a positive attitude.

Last,  I will just say that I am thankful to everybody that was part of this year, and that I will miss 2016, I have never really been sentimental on year endings, but I just feel like this year (specially these past few months) have brought me to alot of discovery, and new angles. So thank you 2016, you will be missed.

Thank you, have a bright day!
