Cool, which ones in particular?

Broke out of my first toxic relationship

Started rethinking my college path (though, in my case, thinking about college altogether)

Gained a new best friend (not life partner, unfortunately :()

Listened to more albums out of 2016 than any other year and made considerable progress on my queue

Found more out about myself and how I work

Nice dude. This year's been pretty great.

I'm not sure about life partner just yet, Tristan. I don't like commitment.

Whenever you change your mind... hit me up. I'll always he here for you.

I'm kind of holding out for Ki right now, he has a cat, so like, you know...

Ay baby.

I quit my soul draining job inspecting abandoned houses. While it is a very interesting job, it really took a toll on me psychologically with all the working by myself and being in my car for six hours a day. I got fat and depressed. I started to work out and lost forty pounds and got a second job to save for what ended up being probably the most eventful nine weeks of my life which was backpacking Europe and visiting my friends on the west coast.

For seven of those nine weeks I traveled to and through eleven countries. I did this by myself save for the last ten days which were with my cousin. I learned to take care of myself and how to socialize when you don't know a single person. I have some regrets about some things. I feel I could have made more out of my trip but I'm planning on doing this again in a few years so I'll make it up then.

Right now I'm trying to find a second job or a new job that pays well so I can move back out of my parents and be on my own again.

All in all, I'm in pretty good shape considering the shape I was in a few years ago which some of you may remember.

Sounds like a fantastic year. Happy to hear things are going better for you for the most part.
