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

2016 taught me that not everybody has the same heart as you. That's life and you live and you learn. But through it all stay true to yourself

2016 taught me to be patient. It also taught me to compensate for the bad in the world by the good in me. Let's not diffuse our responsibility to society and make the change we want to see in the world :)

Everything happens for a reason.

Live it, love it and learn from it.

Something that 2016 taught me is to move on and look ahead towards a new and bright future.

To focus on today. Yesterday already happened its over. Tomorrow hasnt happened yet. So relax and enjoy the moment with a clear head.

Recovery is possible.

2016 and my reading taught me to "put myself on the list"!!!!!

That I have the courage and ability to survive. I started 2016 with health issues and a big shortage of money. I was feeling pretty alone and helpless. By the end of 2016 I had sorted out most of the financial difficulties and I have new, supportive friends. The health issues are still there but they are somewhat stable and much better. I feel hopeful for the future now.

We can't always complete the goals we set out to achieve, but with persistence we will achieve a goal and express part of who we are. That is truly AWESOME!

2016 has taught me to lie, to pretend that I respect everything adults say. It's fine, it's acceptable, I do hate it, but it's fine. It's also taught me the value of my friendships, how much I value my good friends.

But its also taught me to trust no one but myself with my secrets, desires and wants, not even the ones I love.
