My 2016
2016 have been good to me. Mmm let me rephrase it: I work hard to make 2016 a good year to live in. At the end of the day, I think I succeeded. Im calmer, more positive and have rebounded with new energy. Not all 365 days are bed of roses and I try not to let negativity affect me too badly or deeply.
