to self-

tomorrow marks the first day of another year in life. you’re looking back now on the past 365 days reflecting on all you’ve lived and loved. you think of this very day a year from now, and wonder what reflections will stand foremost in your mind- no taller but a little stronger. this past year of your life was a solid one. you sat with your dearest when the world was harsh and she was shaken. you stood beside your friends as they made a pact before the ones they love to live life together forever as one. you witnessed friends fall in and out of love - you were inspired by their good and their bad. self: know going into this year, as always, that you will hurt and you will also revel in benevolence. 

be loving. be inspired. be youthful. be willful. be better.
