When it just has not been a great year, January 1st seems like the brightest day yet. This year, I got my heart broke, my GPA was not where I wanted it to be, I lost a few friends I thought would be around for a very long time. I have cried, more than usual probably.

Sometimes, there's going to be that year that everything seemed to fall apart. No matter how hard you tried, it just was not going to swing in your favor this time. But keep in mind, that at some point in your life, it's going to be your year.

It's going to be your turn to have the best days of your life. A lot of good things are going to happen to you. You are going to smile a whole lot more than you will cry. You are going to find the love of your life. You are going to have your year eventually.

But you will stare right into the best year of your life and be blind to it if you don't release the worst year. Say goodbye.

Because when I look back I also remember that I grew so much as a person this year. I learned so many things about myself. I realized how strong I really am. I realized who my real friends were. And most of all, I have become a better version of myself.

So walk out with your head held high and a peace sign in the air. Because letting go of the worst year of your life is the only way you can embrace the possibility of the best year.

Goodbye 2016, you sucked. But hello 2017, I cant wait to see what you bring me.
