Goodbye 2016 and hello 2017.

Let’s be honest, 2016 wasn’t our year. It was nothing but disaster after disaster and maybe Kylie was right: 2016 was the year of realizing things.

Dear 2016,

You were not very nice, but it’s okay because I was able to see the real people in my life. You have shown me that no matter what obstacle is being presented in my life, I can overcome them. I learned that loving yourself is more important than anything else. I had the chance to meet new, beautiful people in my life. To the individuals who have left my life, I thank you because it’s like the trash took it self out. One of the most important lessons I learned was that it’s okay to fail. No one is perfect and we all make mistakes, but dwelling on the negative is not going to help you either. Being positive, on the other hand, will give you a new outlook on life. Besides, life is better when you surround yourself with positive vibes. Don’t let people who don’t believe in you tell you that you won’t make it. Proving them wrong is the best revenge you can give them. I give thanks to 2016 for making me into a stronger women and for that I’m forever grateful. I’m excited for what 2017 has in store for me and what ever it is, I’m ready to take it like a champ.

2016 is long gone and it may have had some bittersweet memories, but the good news is you can replace those bad memories with new memories in 2017. I wish you nothing but happiness, love and health in 2017.

Good luck.
