Here are some of my memories photographed: 

This year has been a strange one. It was rediscovering routine. It was trying to find a place for myself when I never felt like I belonged anywhere. It was trying to place myself in the present moment, to ground myself where I otherwise might drift away. I think it was trying to reaffirm myself in the world. That can be a strange process.

This year had some bad. It had a lot of good. Most of the good was in the people I met and developed better bonds with. It was a lot of trying to better integrate people I really liked in my life. I enjoyed that a lot about this past year. I did some good for myself this year. I kept up with a practice that makes my body feel good, and helps my mind learn perspective. I think this year was a helpful year. It helped to create and solidify a lot of the basics that I had forgotten, that I had lost. It was a time to readjust my body and my perspective.

I wonder what this year will bring. 2017. My twenty-third turn around the Sun, twenty-three years of this Earth and its people. I wonder what kind of memories will define this coming year. To continue to be kind, to continue to learn patience. All of that.
