Favorite Highlights of 2016.
2016 marked a year of growth and discovery as a lady; making conscious improvements where damages were present, accomplishing (bigger) dreams as I bade my 20s goodbye, fighting battles that nobody knows about, and gaining status upgrades as a wife and cat woman.
I learned about loving beyond faults, living with unpredictabilities, and the meaning of sacrifice. After all the tears and laughters, here I am again; stronger than the year before.
This post is a flashback of how 2016 looked like for me. I hope you enjoy reading, and have a wonderful new year celebration wherever you are, the way you want it. Cheers to a brighter, more promising and heart-lifting future in 2017.
