If I could go back in time and tell my 12 year old self that I'd make it to 2026, that I'd make it to 17... I know she wouldn't believe me. I'm getting so emotional. I'm so proud of the person I've grown and am still growing to be. There's so much that changed: I slowly started actually liking the way I look: my body, my face.. I started liking the way I act, my grades have been really good, a few years ago I would've never even dreamt of getting past a 60% let alone 80 on multiple exams. I'm just so happy for how this year turned out. Yes, there were hardships, but I got through them. Life always has its ups and downs, but it doesn't stop at the downs even when it feels like it might, it keeps going. Happy New Year. (I'm kinda sad I can't add any video's on here since I have a whole almost 9 minute video of fireworks, but they're pretty far away so maybe not so worth it.)
