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

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

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.

Bought my dream home
Married the female version of me
Brought together 20 years of my best friends, flying many in from other countries to hold the wildest bash of my life in celebration of the wedding
Developed lasting and mutually rewarding relationships with ladies and gents the world over through forums and other networks after nearly a decade of struggling to find freaks like me
Built wonderful memories venturing outside my introverted world
Made tremendous advances in the scalability, data integrity, organization, and accessibility of my digital archives
Moved my catalog databases to the cloud with numerous advantages like real-time appraisal, shareability, and redundancy
Continued my life-long research and enjoyed every thrilling moment of discovery
Through friends and professional peers I found a publisher perfectly suited to my "journo-demic" writing style and supportive of my Free Culture philosophies
Earned the respect and admiration of the president of the publishing house who was honored to mentor me toward the publication of my first book
