I'm in the best shape of my life, have averaged over 1 awesome night out a week, built fantastic relationships with people I now consider closer than family, 2016 on a personal level has been the year I've dreamed about since I was a teenager wanting to get into the cool parties feeling like a loser, I just wish the world reflected how good it's been for me,

It started off really badly as I had my heart broken but it got better. I found an amazing girlfriend and got to see AC/DC live. I also met Scott Steiner, Jim Ross and Jim Cornette which was fun. Work hasn't been that good as 3 people who I enjoyed working with have all left so my goal in 2017 is to find a new job.
Friends wise has been mixed. I had some great holidays with them and my best friend finally came off his anti-depressants, however another friend pretty much stopped talking to me as soon as I got a girlfriend.
2016 you crazy year.

It was like a real life corrupt-a-wish.
Two really cool things happened but with cons. I finally got a new job, which was a big goal for me this year because I was so miserable and burnt out in my last job. Even better, I got to move to Austin, which is somewhere I've always enjoyed visiting and wanted to move to. It's been a few months and I really enjoy my job and the people I work with. But the side effect is that I'm not crazy about Austin and miss Charlotte (where I was living before) a lot. I had been there for a few years and had made really good friends, had gotten involved in a church I liked a lot, and overall was happy with my life there despite not liking my job. Austin has been pretty lonely so far. I haven't met many people and although I knew a lot of people that already lived here, I haven't gotten to hang out with them. When you've been gone from somewhere for 3 years (I used to live in Texas) peoples lives change and situations change, and it's hard to just kind of jump back into it. I don't know, I keep reminding myself its only been a few months but I kind of regret moving here.
The other really cool thing was there was a girl I started seeing towards the end of my time in Charlotte. We had been really good friends and then this past summer we kind of took it to the next level. It was a lot of fun and we got really close in that short amount of time. When I moved here we kept in touch and still talked every day, and she was going to come visit for my birthday. Then she didn't. Then slowly we started talking less. And then one day she just stopped responding to me altogether.
So, two really cool things that I wanted when the year started, but then when they happened the ending kind of sucked or it wasn't what I thought it was gonna be.

For me, i can't think of 2016 without it revolving around my job and family. The best job I ever had was at a power plant back in my home town, but in June it was decommissioned (shut down for good). I managed to keep my job with the company, same pay, but at a different plant. Most of the year i was separated from my family, I had buy a house, move everybody to a new city where we don't know anybody, and i have to start all over at my new job. it's been a rough year on all of us.

With how chaotic the world as a whole has been this year, it's weird to think that for me personally, 2016 was a great year. I bounced back from a shitty year 2015, which featured graduating from grad school and saying goodbye to my friends there, a hellish and hopeless-seeming job hunt, coming out as bisexual to my parents and undergoing the drama that ensued, moving back in with my parents in the summer because I still hadn't gotten a job,getting a shitty job that I was eventually fired from, and meeting and eventually getting dumped by my ex-boyfriend. 2016 saw me spend my first full calendar year at my new, much better job which I got last fall, still living in my own apartment which I moved into last winter, making some good new friends who I met in Meetup.com groups and now hang out with often, and meeting and falling in love with my current boyfriend (we've reached the stage of regularly saying "I love you" to each other ), whose family I have since met, and his mine. Man. Moral of the story is: the bad times don't last. And if the good times don't either, all the more reason to maintain them and cherish them as best as you can.
