Well here we are! 2015 is just about to come to an end and I can whole heartedly say that it was one of the best years I've had thus far in my life. I could go on for hours and hours talking about all of the insane things that have happened, and how every month was completely different from each other in its own little way, but I'll just keep it to a minimum.
First off, finishing off high school in 2015 was a huge deal! It's insane to think that one of the biggest, most remembered years of my life is ending. I looked forward to 2015 all of my adolescence, and I was always in awe at how far away it seemed to be. Although Kyle and I met and started dating in 2014, I feel that it was 2015 when I truly started to really fall in love with him. I remember a year ago today when the world was saying it's last goodbyes to 2014 I had absolutely no clue what would be in store for me. Especially after my dad passing, I've felt like a lot of aspects of my life have been pretty spontaneous because my whole entire life altered from what it was prior to him being ill. My house going up for sale, struggling with mental illness, and fighting my own demons are just a few of the many battles I fought this year that I didn't think I'd be winning. A few months ago I couldn't have cared less if I was here to see today, but now that I'm here, alive, happy, and healthy, i'm insanely glad that I am.
From being at the beach more times than I want to count, to camping out in tents and cars with Kyle, to exploring Germany, Austria, and Switzerland all in 10 days, to creating insanely close bonds with long times friends, to nearly dying way too many times than I want to say, to really, really growing into the person I know I want to continue being forever, this year was insanity in a nutshell and I loved every second of it. I've learned a few things that I know carrying with me forever will be the smart thing to do. I've discovered to be as nice as I can to people, even if they're being totally rude back. I've realized that people are not the same as I am, and no two brains and hearts are alike. This helped me to get over the fact that people will not always say the right things, or the things I necessarily want to hear. And that's perfectly okay. This year I found my own little style and altered myself into the person I always wanted to be. 2015 was a year of self growth and realization to say the least.
So, as 2016 is about to start up and you realize 2015 may have not been your ideal year, I 100% recommend you take this as an opportunity to change your life to how you want it. I know it's so much easier said than done, but if you know there are things in your life that you're itching to change, CHANGE THEM!!!! I'm so grateful for the friendships I have kept and gained, the new places I have been lucky enough to see, and the amazing experiences that have touched my heart and made me a better person. I have realized that whatever you give to the world will come straight back to you, and what flows back into your life, whether it be positivity or negativity, is completely up to you. 2015 was a big year of blogging, photography, and documenting and I couldn't be anymore grateful that I have these things to look back on and reflect. This was definitely the year that my passions took flight. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all my loved ones who made this year completely one of a kind. I'm so pumped to be going into 2016 with great friends, an incredible boyfriend, and a motivated head and heart. I have a lot of great ideas for this next year that I can't wait to put into action and show to the world. Get ready everyone!!!! Great things will be in store. I hope everyone has the happiest and safest New Years Eve they possibly can. Happy 2016 my loves!!!!!
