A lot can happen with a year. It's fun to look back and see how much things have changed. You assume that life sucks and isn't going your way. You feel that you have it worse then anyone else. But then when you go through everything that has happened in the year you start to realize that things could be worse. Everything that happens, happens for a reason. It's all one big learning experience
