Another Opinion On 2016
TheMakingTable

We started 2016 the same way we start every year, with hope and optimism, looking forward to the future to bring us good and bad. Unsurprisingly, this year has been filled with a bunch of new exciting innovations and activity across the world; but it also has been filled with some of the worst acts of this time. There is no need to go into the things that have happened this year, just to relieve that pain and heartbreak. But please everyone say it with me sayonara 2016, you will not be missed. I have had enough of this year and everyone else has. I mean every time I open a social media all I see are memes of this year being over and it finally will! Happy new year everyone please please please let's make 2017 an actual happy year.

I remember how exciting summer was when I was a kid. I would just be eagerly waiting for school to end so that I could fly to some exotic location with my family for the summer. Or hang out with my friends every day. Or just lay around in bed or read, paint, draw, basically do whatever.
