365 Days

365 days ago from today

The date was January...

Something

It was raining

I think

I was still in bed

Probably

 

The point is

I don’t remember

If you asked me what I did in 2016

I’d say

“I don’t know”

 

That’s just how it is with me

As soon as a year

Or a month

Or even a day passes

I try to forget it

Why? You ask

“I don’t know”

 

Maybe it’s because when I reflect

I tend to find things that I could have done better

I tend to (as they say) “cringe” at my own mistakes

So the simplest way to accept them

Is to forget them

 

So I guess

In a way

I did nothing in 2016

 

Except:

Moving schools

Losing some friends

Making some new ones

Reconnecting with old ones

Going to an art museum

Picking up Acoustic Guitar

Trying Korean Barbeque

Learning how to make egg rolls

Getting really sick

Binge watching Game of Thrones

“DIscovering” new music genres

Taking the SAT

Applying for college

Pulling out my hair

Sighing during the election

Crying over my grades

Laughing with my friends

And a few other things too

 

So yeah

Overall

I’d say 2016 was pretty average

:)
