This was the year that I learned how to live. Not to just survive, but to grab life by the horns and truly feel the magic that this world has to offer.
I learned the pain of a midnight heartbreak, and the success in healing myself when I never thought that I'd be the same.
I lived through struggles that beat me down to the core of my existence, but I learned how to pick myself up and continue on.
A year of new friendships, lost ones, and unrequited love, I learned how to treasure those closest to me. I finally found my place within this crazy universe.
Immersed in a place of history and culture, I learned how to appreciate the architecture of centuries before me. Feeling beautifully lost in an unfamiliar place, I found myself getting lost more often. I discovered the importance of finding yourself in times where you don't know where you're existing.
This year has taught me more than I could have imagined. I have felt myself become the person that I've always wanted to be. Walking away from the shell of the girl that I once was, I don't ever want to go back.
