Your 2017 was not a failure.
Your 2017 was a success because you are still alive and breathing, heart beating.
You are still here after all of the bullshit that the year brought you.

You might feel like you accomplished nothing throughout the last twelve months.
You might feel like the year was a complete waste.
You didnt find your forever person.
You didnt land your dream job.
Its making you wonder if youre ever going to get where youre aiming to go.
But youre looking at things the wrong way.

You should be proud of yourself for making it through.
For surviving another 365 days.
Think of all the bullshit you dealt with this year.
You lost touch with friends you thought would stick by your side forever.
You had falling outs with family members that you thought you could trust.
You lost loved ones to heaven.
You lost yourself in your sadness and anger.
There were days when you dealt with hangovers.
With coughs and colds.
There were other days when you dealt with mixed signals.
With answered texts and canceled plans.
You went through hell this year but you made it through.
And now you are more powerful than ever.
Your pain has strengthened you.
It has helped you grow.
Your 2017 wasnota failure because you learned essential lessons this year.
Now, you know how much you are able to handle before you snap and lose your sanity.
You are a warrior.
You are a badass who is going to find their way to success.
Instead of going into the new year feeling like a failure, accept that you are doing your best.
You are trying your hardest.
You are beating this world and thats a tough thing to do.
Dont you dare go into2018thinking that there is going to be a repeat in history.
Let yourself think positive.
Let yourself believe that this is the year you are going to accomplish everything your heart wants.
