I had rough year in 2016. I battled with loneliness for months. But it wasn't terrible. Things actually started getting better for me. I started hanging out with friends out of school. I made more friends at school. Here are somethings I learned from the last year

Number 1: "I refuse to look back thinking days were better" okay I stole that from One Republic but whatever. That my favorite line in their song Kids.

It's because I was really upset at one point in the year because I realized how I used to hang out with these people in my neighborhood, and now we didn't. And I was upset that things had changed and I wasn't having anyone to hang out with outside of school. But things got better and I've started hanging out with people from school.

The second thing I learned was that : Your struggles make you stronger. What I went through with feeling lonely made me realize that our struggles make us stronger people. That ever scar we feel makes tougher.

Number 3: Get out of your comfort zone.
A few weeks ago I went to my first basketball game with my grandpa. And I was actually kind of nervous about it. And it was out of my comfort zone because I don't spend a lot of time with my grandpa by myself. So I don't know I was just nervous , but I ended up having a great time. And I learned I like to watch basketball.

Forth thing I learned:

Basically what I learned is when you want to do something. Don't think about the future and see the future conflicts the can occur. Just focus on what you can do for it here and now.

So there you have it folks. That's what I learned in 2016. I hope you all have good New Year.
