Not in chronological order

1. Successfully finished therapy, thereby closing one of the darkest moments of my life so far
2. Became even closer to my EoFF friends
3. Graduated - almost. Finished the first draft of my thesis. I'm on the last leg of this journey.
4. Got a full time job that is not only well-paying, but uses my greatest assets, which is my writing skills and my native-like English proficiency
5. Finally experienced the Dragon Quest series
6. Started writing for the site, hopefully expanding my horizons for the future, maybe opening the door to video game journalism.
7. Tried a variety of new genres in writing. Some attempts went better than others, but it was overall an enriching experience.
8. Finally beat FFXIII and experienced that trainwreck on my own in all its glory.
9. Won the Best Writer Ciddie for the first time in summer, and then lost it in winter, which was humbling. But I got the Happiest Member Ciddie instead, which really goes to show how well the therapy worked. I'm also now officially the most hyped person for FFXV on EoFF
10. Discovered Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Hands down one of the most perfect anime out there.
11.My wife. I really can't explain this. It defies all logic. But year after year, I feel like I love her more and more. She makes me so happy and helps me get through so much. Whenever we go on walks, it kind of still feels like we're stills teenagers. I can't believe it will be our third wedding anniversary in 2016 already. It seems like it was yesterday, but at the same time, the world seems to have not existed before we got together. There is not a day that I don't thank God for giving me the gift of life and for letting it become intertwined with hers. I truly am the happiest man alive right now.
