As the year of 2016 rolls in, it brings many new things: new movies, new trends, new fashions, but it's also brought a few heartbreakers. Just yesterday I heard about Alan Rickman's passing, and was deeply saddened. We've lost so many shining lights these past couple of years: Rickman, Bowie, Christopher Lee, I mean, it's just been a lot of mourning for those who've known the who've graced the silver screen with their presence, as well as those who have used their talents to make music and other such genius pieces. As a bit of a 'In Memoriam' kind of thing, I thought this clip from the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special seemed appropriate. It seems right in a way, cause it does tell a truth: We're all on different paths in the journey of our lives, but we're all going the same place: Home.

So, it's 2016, people. New year, new goals.....new trends, new fashions new technologies, just new everything. One thing that I've been thinking about a whole lot is the fact that my 18th birthday's in a few months. August seems very far away, I know, but 18. It's a lot to think about. 18 basically means "It's time to do adult stuff, get a car, rent an apartment, and do something with your life!" When I was younger it was something I used to dream about, but now that it's so close, it's something I think about with nail-biting anxiety, almost. Sure, 2016 means new stuff, but for me, all I can think about is me turning a new age, and frankly I'm a trifle terrified of the notion. Of course everyone says "Congrats! you've made it! You're an adult now!" But 18 means I have to start flying even though my wings have been underused. It's not like it's an exact push out of the nest, I still have a lot to do before I get to that stage, and who knows, maybe it might be fun being my own person (and I have to admit that it does give me a thrill when I think about being able to buy my own groceries one day). But, it's still a few months away yet and I have a whole lot of stuff to do before that. And for those of you who were slightly missing posts from this blog, sorry if I've kept you waiting. I've been really enjoying working on my other blog and have been quite frankly lacking imagination for posts on this one. Happy 2016, and thanks for staying with me for so long!!!!!
