Here we are, the last day of 2016! I've had so many words to describe 2016: "intense", "non-stop", "brutal", "a bitch" (see Aug. 20th and Dec. 5th), "relentless" and a few others I can't remember.
But this morning I was thinking that we made it! We survived! We are so DONE with 2016!
Just for good measure I'm going to post the finale of John Oliver's "Last Week Tonight" show again:

Anyway, thinking about how we made it this morning reminded me of this song. The theme of the song is wrong, in the intro to the song in the live TV video, Barry talks about how the song is about two people that didn't make it. But the title works...
The one video shows the label of the 7" single and the copyright is 1976. So 40 years ago. So crazy to think what a different world it was then. I had no idea I was transgender, I just always knew there was something wrong with me.
I never envisioned that almost 40 years later I would be very happily living as a woman. It still blows my mind just thinking about it. You truly can't know what will happen in the future.
So this will seem contradictory but even though 2016 has been a bitch, it has still been a wonderful year! I'm still happier than I've ever been and I love who I am!! It is so delightful being a woman, I've found so much joy in being my true self!!! Not even a year as hard as 2016 could take that away.
