for all the bad decisions and the loss and the pain and for everything that has caused me sorrow this past year. I have loved and lost and left pieces of my heart lying all around. But moping around, feeling sorry for myself is the easiest thing on earth to do. Ironic how easy, yet absolutely exhausting it is. So I learned from it. I learned to lean on myself, I learned to not be ashamed of who I am, I learned to let go of the bullshit and hang on to the belief that I can do this. I got this shit. I learned that I'm in control of my own life and who and what I will allow in it. All that has gone wrong this past year has not made me bitter or weak or ready to give up. It has made me stronger and wiser and more determined to carry on like I always have. I am Me. I will always be Me.

I cannot wait for New Year’s Eve to reread my journal, burn each page and start with a clean slate. There is something cleansing about watching ashes of the year drift into the ether.
