Closing Arguments 2016

The year 2016 is coming to a close. Most of us are so very ready for it to end. I, myself cannot say that this year has been cruel to me by no means. Many things have happen in our popular culture that has many of us wheeling from its aftershocks. It seems like when it was not one thing but another. Over and over again and with the use of social media things are getting lost in the mix. I had a pretty decent year. While things didn't go the way I thought they would. I am learning to adjust and make the best of things. Sure, life may throw things in my plans but it's what you do with them after that make the big difference. The year 2016 was the year I put my life into place and start making some headway on other things. I have gotten so sick of finding myself at time comparing my life to others and getting that moment of hopelessness. Looking over my life as it is to what I thought it would be. To say the least it's complete bullshit. I realize I was still holding on to some crazy halfway idea of what my life should be at the age of twenty- eight from when I was in high school and basically completely blinded but what the world could be. My god , I'm so incredibly blessed in my life as it is. For, I know I could be struggling more than I am. From my faith to my family there is no way I could have made it this far without them. Realizing that was the biggest thing and letting go is harder.  Sure, I don't have the job I thought I would but I have one to say the least. I am blessed beyond measure and I will take it. 2016, the year we all want to blame time for our losses and struggles. We cannot blame time for it is forever moving and changing but it's what we do when it affects us is the key. Looking over my blog it has not been what I wanted it to be nor what I envision but that takes time and effort to make these things happen. I realize that at the start on 2015 I wrote a post of what I wanted to get out of that new year but did not for 2016. While, I didn't make a post I made a plan for myself. Be who you are, accept yourself completely and let go the unrealistic. This year, we have lost many of our favorite celebrities and grieve for them still and we have witnessed some things that will change our lives as we know it. Yes, I'm ready for this year to be over not because it was horrible to me but all things must come to a end. I'm ready to close this chapter and start writing the next one in my life.2016, the year that threw us for a loop is one to remember but for me it was the year realizing who I am and could be.  No one else can write your story but you. So, my suggestion for you is to write your own story with the good and the bad! It's your life make it what you will.
