This year......has DEFINITELY been interesting. The uproar that the election brought, the ups and downs of the movies that were released this year, general online drama, you name it. I think the hard part of this year was losing so many celebrities; very recently, Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame, followed a day after by her mother, Debbie Reynolds. All the other stuff that happened this year kinda fades in comparison when it comes to tragic events or the passing of loved ones. But there were good parts of 2016: I made some discoveries and made new friends in a place very far away from my home, memories were made, adventures were taken, changes happened that turned out to be good ones. 2016 has been brutal, yes. But as the 11th Doctor once said: "'The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant." We mourn the ones we lost, but we move on. A way I moved on from losing the family dog is that we got a new one. I still miss her, but the fact that the hole she left was filled with a new addition, helps with the grieving process and makes everything a little brighter, a little easier to breathe everyday. I'm a sucker for the philosophical stuff, and whenever I see this part, it always sticks out to me in a way, so I'll leave you with this.
Sorry for the late post, and happy (almost) New Year!
