As the last twenty-four hours of 2018 ticks by, I’m grateful to say goodbye to the highs and lows and greet a brand new year.

Goodbye to all of the people that I’ve left behind, I could no longer hold onto a one way friendship. Goodbye to people that I have loved, I finally learned that the idea of someone is not them.

Goodbye to all of the negativity that I allowed my head to cloud up with, it’s too heavy to carry now. Goodbye to my anxiety that keeps me from pursuing my dreams and living my life. Goodbye to my depression that weighs me down.

I’ll clutch onto the things I treasure the most as we enter the New Year. Things I can’t, and won’t, let go.

I’m grateful for a new found happiness in myself. I’m grateful for the wagging tail that always hollows at me in the morning. I’m grateful for the friendships I’ve made, the friends I’ve kept, and the love I’ve found.

2019, that’s all I ask for, to hold onto those little things for another year. Happy New Year.
