Hey you, yeah you. I see you there. You're reading this hoping to find some sort of hope, and I'm not sure you'll find it. I'll give you some advice though, you are not alone. There are a ton of us who are walking into 2017 alone. Some have been single for a while but were hoping this year would be different, others are recently single and they are still trying to figure out how to deal with it. We are all having the same feelings: scared, alone, sad, and a number of other things. One thing I want us to be is hopeful. Hopeful that this year we will figure out what we want out of life. Hopeful that one day we will be with someone who appreciates us for who we are. Hopeful that we will grow as an individual and find things that we are passionate about.

You can do this. You are strong, and brave, and beautiful. You can walk this walk alone. You will be okay. You don't need some mediocre boy to tell you how awesome you are. Know that you're awesome- embrace who you are. Embrace all of your little flaws and learn to love them. Make 2017 your year. Do things that you've always wanted to do. Take that trip, buy those shoes, try that restaurant you never thought you were hip enough for. Do everything you've ever wanted too.

You can do this girl. Rock 2017 out!!
