Did 2015 really just happen? Did I really just move to Colorado? Did I just become an avid skier and rock climber? Did I just ascend two mountains of 14,000 feet (4,267.2 meters)? Did I really just witness U2 with Bruce Springsteen and Paul Simon at Madison Square Garden? Did I really just see the Foo Fighters at sunset in the middle of a large field in Germany? Did I really just visit Machu Picchu in Peru?
It’s hard to imagine how one can fit a lifetime of experiences into one calendar year. I have to admit that I felt a lot of uncertainly and fear when I moved from sunny Florida to snowy Colorado back in February. But with uncertainty comes great excitement in new explorations, and I am looking forward to a lot more adventures as I enter the 36th year of my life.
With all of the chaos and tragic news of this past year, let us not forget to cherish those precious moments we get to make. Onwards to 2016! Now, let’s go out drinking somewhere tonight!
