2014.
What can I even say? This year has honestly been one of the best and most life-changing years of my life. When I think about this year, it feels like it has gone by in the blink of an eye, but when I look back on all these posts I have written and see all the amazing things that have happened, I realize how long it has really been. Among so much more, I have experienced an abundance of new things with my very loved friends and family, moved out on my own with two amazing friends who I now consider family, made a decision about my career and was accepted into University, let go of the past in order to start over and begin a new relationship and long future with the love of my life, and most importantly I have been able to face the things I did not like about myself and work on them, realize the things I love about myself and grow in those qualities, and overall as a person, have grown so much in order to accommodate all these beautiful things that have occurred. I'm no where near perfect, but I have tried my best and I have done all these things with the support of the people I love the most and just as I've always known, I consider myself to be amongst the luckiest in the world to have this all.

I began writing this blog at the beginning of the year with the intention of just posting one photo a day, and quite honestly, I assumed I would have succumbed to the laziness and given up a month in. It turned out being a photo a day (sometimes even more) and a lot of the time, a whole lot of writing. What surprised me even more so than the fact that I actually continued writing for the entire year, was that a few of my close friends and family actually kept up with reading this. I know it's not the biggest deal in the world, but knowing that a few people that mean so much to me were interested enough to follow my boring rants, raves, and appreciations for an entire year is an amazing thought. The best part of all was that taking a photo (mostly - whoops!) every day, and being able to write somewhere semi-private gave me the best gift of not only having the opportunity to appreciate all the little things in each day - as it was intended, but to have solidified in writing all my little and big memories as a 23 year old. Often times, the details of big events are forgotten, not to mention the little ones - so having a place to fondly remember all the details, big and small, is something I will always cherish.
To one of the best years of my life: Goodbye, 2014. It has, as they say, been a slice.
