Here is mine- I loved 2015 but am also happy to see the back of it.
I will nickname 2015- Family Drama Year.
Saw the New Year in with Fantasia in Noosa over poignant tarot cards (we knew what was coming babe).
Came out of the dark transitional world of having a baby 0-6 months.
Forgot what my life was like pre-baby and stopped mourning my "old life".
Watched my little fish grow from 6 months to 18 months.
Watched fish start crawling, then walking, then talking.
Went to Canberra and got gastro at the zoo, mapping out every toilet along the way so I could still go and see the animals for fish's first birthday.
Realised just what a bad headspace I was still in after my parents separation almost 20 years ago.
Realised I am as uptight as a motherf*cker can get.
Realised that constantly mourning our family breakdown and my childhood was not helping.
Realised I had to get over it.
Realised I had to see a psychologist to do so.
Learned how to stop worrying so much (work in progress).
Learnt how to let go.
Almost threw myself a party when a light went on and I realised I was allowed to let go and stop worrying and being angry.
Accepted the fact that I have steparents that I don't like and they arent going anywhere.
Realise that there are dickheads all around me in my life who won't go away and it is easier to be civil than hate.
Felt a huge sense of lightness.
Put the huge backpack of resentment and anger down that has been killing my back for years.
Feel excited about the rest of my life again.
Started wearing full briefs more than g-bangers.
Went to Batemans Bay with my mini-fam and realised that mini-getaways make the world go round.
Realised Andrew has been by my side now for 5 years, helping, nurturing and loving me still through a lot of shit.
Watched my business grow steadilly, then have a seriously bad moment in September, then recover nicely in October.
Realised I want to head into other areas of naturopathy, such as herbal medicine research or campaiging for registration, as well as private practice.
Got my sex life back.
Decided I am the kind of woman who may want to wear linen shirts.
Got Kendrick Lamar tickets for Christmas and had an instant full body orgasm.
Realised I have stopped going to concerts and realised that sh*t needs to stop.
Decided to take the light road instead of the heavy road.
Decided to relax.
2016 New Years resolution: RELAX AND LET GO!
Think that's it! PEACE OUT 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking forward to 2016 like a MOFO!
Chat in Feb about Chinese New Year!
Love,
Danielle

Jesus Caitlin! Quiet!!? Even my most hectic year could never compare!
Your mum is dying? :(
Mine is super boring. By month:
Jan: wanted to top myself. Managed not to. Worked.
Feb: wanted to top myself. Managed not to. Worked. Studied.
March: wanted to top myself. Managed not to. Worked. Studied.
April: wanted to top myself. Managed not to. Worked. Studied.
May: wanted to top myself. Managed not to. Worked. Studied.
June: wanted to top myself. Managed not to. Worked. Studied. Realised somethings gotta give and I'm wasting a lot of time feeling miserable over some cunt man.
July: left my job to start up a new venture. Felt less like topping myself. Studied.
August: new venture was in Parramatta right next door to the ex. Ever so slightly wanted to top myself again. Began plans to depart the west. Studied.
September: moved new venture out of Parra to Balmain. How could anyone want to top themselves living and working in Balmain? Studied.
October: bought a puppy. Life is fabo. Studied.
November: last exam ever! Feeling even more fabo! Started thinking about actually decorating my apartment.... Which I have owned for a year godammit!
December: submitted last essay ever! Business going well. Puppy adorable. Reading home decorating magazines for pleasure. Have wonderful family, friends and Apple TV. Life's good :)
2016 New Years resolution: to stop wishing my life away.
