2017 year in review. This year has been better for me than the last couple of years. I’ve closed some chapters and started some new. I’ve enjoyed living this year in my new home, and experiencing the pride and accomplishment that comes with having something you’ve worked so hard for. This year I’ve made a few new friends and parted ways with some old, and I’ve continued to more intricately carve out a life for myself that I love. I’m continually learning to set boundaries for what I’m willing and unwilling to accept from people who want to be in my life. All the while unlearning to hold onto guilt for not being more “accommodating” to those people who do not deserve to be in my life. I feel a little like this year has beat me to death. But it’s more the beat-to-death you feel getting off a roller coaster. Your hair’s a tangled mess and the back of your thighs burn from the hot metal seat but, overall, the ride was a good one. It's that time again to raise our glasses to another new year and another new start.
