It's another 2017 post. But this time, I count the blessings.

2016 is a huge mistake, generally. It killed off the coolest people in this planet, for one. Then, it brought out the worst in people–especially those put in so much power. Also, violence is everywhere. Even the environment agreed with us and just decided to eff it off. Not sure if we're in an episode of Game of Thrones or Black Mirror. But either way, it's a mess. Personally, good things happened to me in 2016. It goes beyond "I'm alive", "I survived". Actual changes that either benefited me or taught me something happened. I can't say I'm super satisfied with this year and rate it a 10/10. But I took baby steps to self-improvement, for sure.

I intended to post this around the last day of the year. But with so much to do, I'm writing this in advance to avoid further delays. Procrastinating won't do favors. So I compile the highlights from the bumpy ass road called 2016.
