(Looking backward)
(no pic) (Twitter)@yukinohono: This year was hard to be honest. Challenging and unfair at times but, looking back we had fun.
(no pic) (Twitter)@OneboysGranson: Looking back at 2017 and I’m really just grateful
(no pic) (Twitter)@BeaMcIntosh: Looking back my 2017 has been insane. I didn’t achieve any of last year’s resolutions, I still eat whole tubes of Pringles and weigh roughly the same as a small elephant. I didn’t get addicted to exercise, my skin isn’t clear and my grades weren’t perfect.
(Twitter)@SaiyamiKher: Looking back at 2017. Lots of travelling, learnings and memories gathered. Experienced the cliché of ‘Life is the biggest teacher’. Looking forward to 2018! How are you’ll spending the last day of the year?
(Twitter)@vroseev: Looking back at memories from 2017. Really makes me laugh to think about how much I cared about the smallest things & how much I’d let it bother me.
(Twitter)@SirNkululeko: What 2017 has taught me. Sometimes you really just need to Let Go & Let God
(Twitter)@rllevit: “No man is a failure who has friends.” 2017 taught me that more than the 38 years before #ItsAWonderfulLife
(Twitter)@livecreatingyou: #2017TaughtMe how to truly love myself. This year, I found the courage to walk away from people and spaces no longer adding value to who I am. I learned loving myself sometimes meant I had to make difficult yet worthwhile decisions.
(Twitter)@migiokafor: What 2017 taught me.
(Twitter)@emitoms: Adopting my dog was the best thing I did in 2017.

I want to remind everyone that any challenge that we face is a chance for each of us to grow into the soul that we are ultimately meant to be. As this year comes to a close I want to wish you all a year of personal growth, authenticity, friendship and love. Happy new year. Bring on 2018 cause 2017 you’ve taught me a lot …
