#thanks2016

Spotify Thanks 2016.

The year that was, 2016. This was a breakthrough year for me. This year taught me a lot of things. I learned to be braver, stronger, more independent, adventurous and I learned to value myself more. This year changed me and made a bolder and brighter and happier version of myself. I came to realize that it is not all about having someone in your life to feel loved; its about feeling loved even if it has to be you who will love yourself. I have always believed that being happy meant that someone has to be there to love you when in fact I realized that no, it was never about having another person, it was about feeling loved, feeling really loved.

This year I have made adventures, from regular watching movies to frequenting different cinemas, to eating at different restaurants, to visiting new malls to staying at different hotels and even to hanging out with different people and sharing with them a portion of myself and opening myself up to other people. I truly loved them spending time with, after so many years, I finally see myself smiling happily with people I never thought would make me feel like I matter.

This year made me realize that I am stronger. I finally overcame the sadness in my heart, I finally realized that I am capable of making myself feel loved and special. I can now say that I have given myself the love I truly deserved. I have and will continue to love myself more that ever. I can now live my life to the fullest without feeling any inhibition and insecurity. I have finally felt secured with my own skin.

This year made me realize how to value my worth, I know understand what I am capable of and what I bring. I am more that I think I am. And I will continue to better at what I am doing and “Always aim to be better than myself yesterday!”

If there is one big word that I will describe for 2017, “Changes” and all this I have wholeheartedly accepted.
