Instead of starting this blog post with an excuse for where I was and why I wasn't blogging consecutively like I promise myself time and time again; I am just going to jump right into it with recap of the past 16 months.
The last 7 months of 2017 and the past 9 months of 2018 have been periods of new beginnings, great endings, tremendous growth and exciting challenges to come. For the memory hoarder in me and the main reason why I made this blog in the first place, here's a listicle of what went down from May 2017 to September 2018:

- realised that it was probably a blessing in disguise cause America and it's issues is something I really don't need in my life right now please and thank you 🙃
// December 2017 //
- Went on a salsa date with some dude who went all the way to Amsterdam to get me donuts after he had jokingly promised he would get me some when I met him at a bar

So much can happen in a year and even more can happen in 16 months and counting. I'm excited to see what these past new beginnings will lead to and how they will conclude and I'm even more excited to see what else is to come!
What are some changes that you've encountered in the past year / few months? I'd love to know! Comment down bellow :)
