The Year 2015

Greetings!
Here I am going to write down my thoughts (WOW) on this year, because I got a feeling this was a very special year of my life personally and like one of the most exciting years in this decade (huh?) for the whole world. I am not counting any negative sides though, because all the while it was a great year in the field of movies, videogames and entertainment, it was also a VERY cruel year in general, giving us major casualties and losses. But it's the New Year's Eve soon, so let's do ourselves a favor and focus on positive sides.

//this article is still in the works but I had a feeling I should publish it regardless.

Why is 2015 so special for me


So, for starters, in this year I turned 23. On April, 9th, this goofy tall thin skin-problematic punk
has become twenty three years old. Quite an important event of my life, honestly. There were good thing prior to that, of course, but the most exciting things started to happen in my personal 24th year of living.

To be as brief as possible (because I can go veeery far with constantly repeating themes and silly words right here as I was used to), I'll try and breakdown the most over-the-top moments of this year for me. Not sure if this will be 100% accurate in means of date/time, but at least 100% right in means of chronological order.

Here goes... //still WIP, though.Ha.

...a Bit Of Commentary

Considering the fact none of the above is something extraordinary, I must also admit it was a very "intense" year for me because I normally do not move my ass anywhere. These events I pointed out do mean a lot to me, as most of them possibly could have never happen with my usual pace. The engine for most of those has been... my phone. Without, I'd never knew certain things coming my way, and - what's far more important - I'd never met so many great people. Some of those I met on IG do mean a lot to me no matter we never met and possibly never will. It's a funny thing somehow, but I could say that I feel like we've been through a lot together, which is obviously impossible but this is how I feel.
 
Certainly, many "bad" events happened to me during the year, including myself got fired just prior to celebration of the New Year (how ridiculous is that?). What happened to the world I don't even want to recall. There been a lot of misery and pain for many families worldwide.
 
I wish the next year will be far more greater than the previous one, and yet 2015 will always have a warm room in my heart because I really admire it and likely will relive the memories stored in various databanks including this one.
 
Cheers!
Happy New Year!

See you in 2016!
