Saying goodbye. 2016 is coming to an end. And, as every good story, the hardest part is the last chapter. We want it to last forever, so we read it slowly in order to delay their end. However, as everything in this life, including life itself, nothing lasts forever. And, as soon as we finish a good story it becomes a beautiful memory for us to keep in the memory’s shelves.

2016 was a good story, for me.

In these last 364 days i learned so much. I travelled to Amsterdam and to Madeira. I knew people whom became close friends. I let people go. I cried. But i smiled too. I made two complicated medical exams, an electromyography and a magnetic resonance imaging. I found a new job. I created this blog. I wrote a lot. I discovered even more strength inside me. I was given the opportunity of being better. I tried so hard for being better. A better person, a better friend, a better daughter, a better girlfriend. I didn’t read the books i’d like to. I enjoyed summer until the last drop. I ordered a designer bag i was dreaming of for so long. I made mistakes. And i learned from them. I was happy.

So, 2016 you were a good year. These last two days are the pages where i just want to write peaceful words. I won’t judge you.

And you 2017, you’re welcome. I didn’t ask you too much. Just health, people, mine and those whom will come, books, smiles and writting. Hugs and talks. Travels. Many, many travels. Work. Opportunities for being better. Blog achievements. Learnings. And the strength to accept what i can’t change.

Thank you, 2016. Welcome, 2017.
