Top 50 of 2016

Oof what a roller coaster year hey? MANY HIGHS. (See below.) And then so very many megalows. (In brief: Trump! Brexit! Australia just treating so many people so horribly! Horrendous wars continuing with no end in sight! Many important and/or famous people dying that upset a lot of people! All round worldwide mayhem really just WHAT IS GOING ON??? On a personal note, miscarriage is a sad and bad thing that happened to us and ruined my July (the best month fyi). And then Instagram killed off the maps function soooo.. Fuck hey. On a Thailand note, an entire country devastated by the loss of their King was/is pretty heartbreaking and incredible. Related: still a lot of uncertainty of what is to come. Hang in there Thailand, we love you.)
