Things That Changed In 2016! (New Year's Special)

Hello world.
I'm just glad I was able to get this blog post up because it was madness trying to find time to write. I'm on holiday, and I've been on the road looking at various beautiful historical sites. We'll need to put those into another blog post, for now.

With 2017 just around the corner, I felt like it was time to look back at the way my 2016 has gone. The various Tumblr and Instagram posts that discuss what a horrible year this was, this year has been pretty rough for me too.

I guess I'm going to be disclosing a lot more about myself through this post than I have before, and it's different to be sharing this with you, but I'm sure it'll be great :)

Alright! #LittleMissRewind2k16, let's go!

1. My home.

As I have mentioned, I moved away this year in July. It was crazy dealing with the prospect of moving away from the school and friends I'd been with for eight whole years. The days after the news was broken to me were filled with endless tears and blankly staring at the wall, wondering why nobody cared what I wanted.

It was definitely different, ending up in a new place, and knowing no one there but a few family members. I was luckily able to engage myself by helping my mom set up the house, unpacking, arranging my room - it took my my mind off the change. Luckily, I've started adjusting now and this really has started feeling like home.

2. My school.

Quite obviously, moving away from home meant changing schools. I was terribly apprehensive about the fact that people wouldn't like me, wouldn't deal with my fangirling, would find me weird, etc., etc., etc.

The first day was extremely weird for me - I roamed around by myself pretty much all day. It didn't affect me that much at school, but when I got home, everything hit me and I had a huge meltdown.

After about a month or two, though, I managed to make some more friends, and they're still by my side to this day. I'm glad I found them

I'd like to say everything feels like I belong perfectly now, but I know that isn't true. I'll probably be right in sync by the end of our second term at school... but this really wasn't as bad as I expected!

3. My Relationships.

I've gotten closer to many people this year, as well as removed many toxic people from my life.

Firstly, I distanced myself from a friend who came and went when it was convenient. We're still on good terms, and talk every once in a while, but I didn't think it was worth keeping this person in as someone close to me. A fight with this friend caused me to come close to doing something that harmed me. I also invested a lot of time in someone who ended up not really caring about me for who I am. I realised in the nick of time and was able to detach myself from this person.

Letting go of these people was as good a experience as all the wonderful new people that have come into my life! I got much closer to my cousin Sara and we are quite literally soulmates. I'm so glad I got close to her, we've developed such a wonderful friendship over just five months. Other than her, I've met amazing people like Blood Candy, Sierra, and Sadness among many others.

4. My Schedule.

This is pretty mundane compared to all the other things that I have mentioned, but it is something that changed.

I now have much less time during the day, since I reach home at 5 in the evening. I have much less homework than what I got in my previous school, which is good because I'm able to relax more, and bad because I'm just so CONFUSED about what to do with my time now!

5. My Passions

I've become much more passionate about music, not just in the amount I listen to, but I've also started practicing a few songs occasionally and I sing a lot more.

I've begun to narrow down on subjects that I like so that I'm not a lost soul in college and I'm sure of what I want to do...So I've now got history and environmental sciences (yes, now you may all make fun of me for not taking business studies and chemistry).

Other than that, my fangirling (which people now count as being "passionate") has become much more intense and I'm part of many more fandoms, like the Mortal Instruments fandom. I'm getting closer to joint the twenty øne piløts fandom too!

Here's to everyone that made my 2016 tons better:
- My mom and dad (of course!)
- Person
- Shark
- Island
- Rabbit
- Sara
- Blood Candy
- Sierra
- Sadness
- Dylan
- Anya
- Rebecca

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BEING THERE FOR ME♥ (you all know who you are)

Phew! It's been a rough year, huh? We've lost so many amazing souls like Alan Rickman, Prince and Christina Grimmie in exchange for a man like TRUMP as President? (Not to offend any of his supporters)

Here's hoping that 2017 is a better year. Happy New Year to everyone...Have an awesome year ahead!
