And just like that another year has gone by. It’s crazy to think about how fast time really goes when you’re having fun or….going completely insane, both work.

I can say that 2016 has definitely been another year to remember. 2016 has given me great happiness but also has shown me pain. But I also believe that every year comes with pain and with that comes new beginnings on the journey of life.

I've come to realize as I’ve grown that every year is never the perfect year. I think most of us look at the bad more than the good, whether we want to admit that or not. But as I think on how many relationships I’ve lost throughout this year and the disappointments that have come, I have learned from them. Although it might hurt, it truly is a blessing in disguise.

I came to realize every year that everything happens for a reason, regardless of how bad it might hurt. This year has taught me to love more and more and how great God really is. It has also shown me that the world we live in could always be better by the next generation.

But most importantly, 2016 made me realize that regardless of the bad in this world, I still have a purpose to do something amazing. My goal is to achieve that, and I believe that you can, too.

So before you think 2017 is just another year, make it a great year. Make the bad situations as good as possible, love your family, love yourself, and most importantly love your God. I think with a little more positivity in this world everyone will have one heck of a year. So to some this up, make 2017 your bitch. I believe in you, girlfriend.
