"What a freakin year. I've travelled to seven countries, met new people, and learned to better appreciate any time with family and friends. I've worked to relinquish fear of failure and view it as a natural part of success. Next year, my goal is to spend as much time in the present moment as possible. Shout out to everyone who made this year what it was, and I can't wait to grow, grow, grow in 2019 with you all!!" - @allysonswaby10 (Instagram)
