A Big Thank You!

2017 has definitely been an eventful year; what with exploring new jobs, trying to figure out my next steps in life (FYI, not much progress with that one), going on a girls trip (finally!!!) and so much more, I can't believe this year is almost done! It has had its ups and downs, weird times, the "what am I doing with my life" times, those "feeling completely out of control" times....

I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions (mostly because I just can't stick to them), but I think that I want to achieve two important things in 2018: one, to just be able to take and handle things as they come, and two, to never take the people in my life for granted, because I'm so incredibly lucky to have them.

To that end, I want to say a big thank you to everyone who's been there as a part of my journey so far.
First, my family. I don't think you can ever appreciate your family enough. I think we only learn their value when the going gets rough, and they're standing there, right beside you. I don't believe anyone else could have had the patience to deal with me and my moods like you did, so thank you, with all my heart.

Secondly, my friends. It has never been easy for me to open up, to trust people, to be vulnerable in front of them. But this year, I learned that it's okay to show your flaws, to lean on someone, to put yourself raw on a platter, to trust them to love you despite everything. I may not have made all that much progress, but what I did make was due to these people ( You know who you are). Thank you so much for listening, for being there, for being mine. You've given me so very much.

Last, but not the least, I would like to thank the others I've met so far: at work, at school, and everywhere else. Each of you has taught me valuable lessons, and I've enjoyed getting to know everyone.

I think, for me, 2018 is going to be a year of gratitude, of positivity, and most importantly, of letting things go, and letting them be. I trust, whatever happens, will truly be for the best.
