Carly's Facebook post

 This is Carly's Facebook post from yesterday. 

This year is almost over and as I look back on it I realize that lots of things happened and changed. This year changed me in lots of ways when at the beginning of the year I never thought would happen. I look back on past relationships, and past characteristics that I once had and I realize that everything happens for a reason.

 

I am not the same person I was at the beginning of 2015 and neither are the relationships I have. I can honestly say that I am very happy about that. When I think back on what has happened this year, I don't even recognize the girl I used to be. She's like a stranger to me, and in my opinion I say that's good.

 

I have a better outlook on life than I did back then, I have a better relationship with my mom and family than I did back then, I'm a lot more happier than I was before. So I look back on the year of 2015 with a smile. Knowing that this year wasn't the greatest, but it certainly came out with a better outcome than I would've expected.

 

I grew up a lot this year and I can quite honestly say that I'm a lot happier now than I was before. I want to thank all of my family who helped me through all of the things I had trouble with. For not giving up on me when I wanted to give up on myself. Without them I don't know how this year would've been.

 

Now I look forward to next year with excitement.
