and every year I like to
do a recap of the year

Past simple

but I didn't want this
review to just be a montage

of my highlight reel because
I've done that in the past

and I just wanted to push
myself and create something new

and most importantly,
something that was honest.

Sparks were off the roof, energy was high

and I truly felt like I
was on the top of the world

So I did what I do best
when I feel anxious.

I kept myself as busy as I possibly could.

and of course I focused a lot
of energy on my relationships.

I made it a resolution to see
my parents as often as I could

I cherish my oma and opa with all my heart

and I think I appreciate
them a lot more now

because we've never had
a relationship like this.

When I was younger, I didn't
really see my parents that much

and today I feel such a
strong connection with them

but this year, we are also
the closest we've ever been

It almost feels like I'm
discovering a long lost sibling

A highlight of 2017 was when
my family met Ben's family

and this was one of the
most nerve-racking moments.

but we powered through
and we had the dinner

and like most things
in life, it worked out.

We laughed, we ate and it's a
dinner that I'll never forget.

Throughout middle school and high school,

I always longed for that
perfect group of friends,

I'm in my late 20s now and it trips me out

This year, I learned what
I want in a friendship

by listening, reaching
out, asking questions

I feel like time is the biggest
gift you can give someone.

I feel full, I feel
acknowledged, I feel safe.

He is the love of my life, my
soulmate, my future husband

and getting to travel and
work together as a duo

His videography and
photography has evolved

and it's a point where Ben now knows more

I guess all that saving
definitely paid off

and I'm so happy to be
living here with my man

Ben and I made it to our three
year anniversary this year

because it officially marked
my longest relationship ever.

My past relationships
would always kinda crumble

around the two year or the
two and a half year mark

So it was a big deal when
Ben and I passed that

because I'll do anything in
my power to make this work.

After I got engaged, I
became very introspective.
