My 2016…

The start of Snapchat filters, most of my life spent coaching, tumbling, or cheering, and right before I dropped out of university! Also, I’m wildly outing myself with that PokemonGO one and the hashtag I used 🤣

... Read moreLooking back at 2016, it’s fascinating how some trends and life choices can define a whole year. The start of Snapchat filters marked a new era in social media, where sharing moments became more fun and visually engaging. I remember how these filters brought a fresh way to connect with friends and capture memories that felt playful and spontaneous. That year was also deeply tied to my passion for coaching, tumbling, and cheering – activities that shaped much of my daily life and personal growth. Being involved in these dynamic sports taught me discipline, teamwork, and resilience, which were essential when facing bigger changes ahead. One of the most significant moments in 2016 was deciding to drop out of university. It’s a decision layered with uncertainty but also liberation, marking a turning point towards discovering what truly matters. This kind of choice can feel daunting, but in hindsight, it opens the door to new paths, creativity, and self-awareness. And who could forget PokemonGO? Its launch sparked a global sensation, encouraging people to explore outdoors, meet new friends, and relive childhood nostalgia through augmented reality. I found myself caught up in the excitement, playfully embracing the hashtag culture and the shared joy it brought. Combining these elements, 2016 was a vibrant collage of emerging technologies, personal growth through sports, and bold life decisions. Sharing these experiences with others helps highlight the importance of embracing change, finding community, and enjoying the little moments that make life memorable.
