Something 2016 taught me is.........

You can only rely on yourself.

When life kicks ur ass kick it in the balls

Don't let other people's words define who you really are. The words they say are reflections of themselves. Love yourself. You're worth it all. Be kind and carry a big stick for those who get in your path of success.

That those who really love you is there for you and that the fake ones don't belong in your life. It showed me that I can do better than that. And to leave every guy that I've ever liked behind

To take a chance. I took the risk of trying to reach out to some long-lost half-siblings of my biological dad and my contact was welcomed by two of them who had been trying to find me as well.

2016 taught me that no matter how long you've hold on to a prerson and no matter how much you've loved them, some people are not meant to stay in your life.

Not to be afraid of letting go of something once you know it's not good for you. And to listen to your gut instinct.

Something that 2016 has taught me is to be grateful for every day, every moment, every breath, and that there is always hope.

That I can see my obstacles as steps toward the top instead of a path to the bottom.

2016 taught me that it's important to express yourself in a way that is true to you. I express myself through fashion and makeup, it allows me to be unique and practice something I enjoy doing.
