Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe it's 2017, it feels like it was only yesterday when I celebrated my 17th birthday with my friends and family. I'm turning 18 in less than five months, and I can definitely tell you it's scaring me. Anyway, forget about me turning 18 let's talk about the year 2016. 2016 was undoubtedly a roller coaster with a lot of uphill battles. However, I could still count 2016 to be one of the best years so far. No matter how much tears I might have shed last year, the beautiful memories with my wonderful friends and family would still top the sad memories. I feel like I've grown so much as a person, and 2016 also made me open my eyes to see the world for what it is.
1.) 'Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest .. It's about who came, and never left your side.'
I have been friends with this girl for almost four years, but we decided to end our friendship last year. In my view, it was for the best. I may have lost someone I've known for years, but I became closer to other people and I met a lot of amazing people too during the summer of 2016. Ever since I met them they've been there for me, and always ready to listen. They made me realize the definition of genuine friends.
2.) The greatest love of all
You might be familiar with the song 'Greatest Love of All' by Whitney Houston. 2016 definitely taught me the greatest love of all. And yes, it is to love yourself. Though, according to the song it's easy to achieve. But from my experience, it's not easy it's tough....and painful. I have to go through so much battles with my own self and other people to finally say I love myself. Loving yourself and being proud of it is not always a bad thing. It is important to always remind yourself that you love you.
3.) Not everyone is going to love you
No matter how nice and kind you are towards other people, it does not always mean that they will like you. But this should not stop you from being nice and doing good deeds for other people. Always be kind. Remember, Kill em with kindness!
4.) It's better to let go and move on
Sometimes, it's better if we just let go of the rope that is only hurting us. If we keep holding on it will hurt us more and more. I know some of you thinks that holding on and hoping for things to change is the best way, but we all need to accept the fact that some things can't just go back to the way they were. Letting go can unquestionable put a genuine smile on our face, it will hurt but it will be worth it.
5.) Pause and be thankful
Even if you are busy with a lot of things like school or work, it is always important to take a break or a pause and realize that we are very blessed.
À bientôt,
