a snapshot

another year past and passed.

it has not, by any means or definition, been an easy year. 

in fact, i think it's been the most challenging yet. it's been lonely, uncomfortable, heartbreaking, stretching, painful, stressful, sorrowful, angering, and the range of emotions+experiences goes on.

but.

it's also been joyful at moments. victorious at others. hilarious. incredibly growing, stretching in good ways. it's also been a steep learning curve in many areas. hard decisions were made. sacrifices. relationships broken, others mended. 

featured in the photo above are little bits and pieces from my life throughout 2015. particularly the joys, both big and small.
