With the semester over and the year on it’s way out, I am so happy to be moving on! 2016 has been trying, to say the least—academically, as well as personally. I did a lot of growing up, knowing when to say when. Whether that was learning how to choose my battles with my annoying professor or having to cut the cord on draining friendships. I’m ecstatic that I took the time necessary to better myself as a person. I’m constantly in competition with myself to improve. I’ve made new friends and am in the talking/flirting/who-knows-what-this-is stage with a cute guy. I’m more aware of my self-worth. I know who’s deserving of my energy and who isn’t.

This entry is a broad reflection on the events that have gone by because I don’t want to get to deep into the details and get upset all over again. I’ve learned to take relationships at face value, to continue to be kind to people and not internalize the insecurities and projections others go out of their way to place on me.

Here’s to a way more fruitful year in 2017. One with less hardship, and opportunities aplenty. ♦
