It's the start of a new year and it's only natural to reflect upon all the memories and moments that changed you, troubled you, and humored you. 

I used to be huge on New Year's resolutions but I like to think as everyday as a day as a fresh beginning. 

This past year has been a whirlwind and taught me more than I could have ever imagined.

Love lessons, multiple jobs, deciding to go on a European adventure, taking risks, making changes...

So, what lessons did this crazy year teach me?

1. Put yourself first

2. You can't control everything and everyone

3. People are meant to come and go

4. Seize every opportunity even if that means being completely out of your comfort zone

5. Make decisions for yourself and don't depend on opinions of others

6. Be happy with who you are 

7. Enjoy the present because that's all you have right now

8. Embrace your relationship with yourself

9. Let go, loosen up, and embrace the reality of change

10. Forgive even if it's that the last thing you want to do

11. Don't apologize for being yourself 

12. Even if your forget about Him, God is always there and loves to show that humorously (at least in my life, thanks G)

13. Don't let fear stop you from doing something you want to do

14. Accept that fact that you can't please everyone

15. If you love something or someone, don't ever give up on it or the idea of it

So here's to another year full of memories, chances, trials, changes, and opportunities...

Are you ready?
