I know you spent most of 2017 unhappy.

You drifted from one relationship to the next.

You found yourself involved in almost-relationships, half-loves, and you ended up with toxic people.

It was continuous without a break.

You knew that was not the right way to live but life was just too hard.

Everything that could go wrong went wrong.

You needed someone to be there and loneliness clouded your better judgment.

You seek any short-term reprieve without regard for the consequences and you just wanted the pain to stop.

So you took the easy way out to heal.

To do what you thought would make you happy.

To stop caring because that seemed like an easier option.

At one point, you were bent on self-destruction and to ruin your own life.

You thought nothing mattered anymore and caring meant setting yourself up for more disappointment and disillusionment.

But you couldnt be more wrong.

Apathy was for the heartless and that was no way to live.

The worse thing than being unhappy is to feel nothing.

Being optimistic is hard work but being constantly negative is downright draining and depressing.

Even if nothing makes sense and everything is wrong, you still have yourself.

You are the only one who can always be there for you.

This year may be a rollercoaster ride of heartbreak and loss but the lessons you take away are priceless.

This year may break your heart but you have learned how to build yourself up from nothing.

This year may not be your best year but it is the turning point of your life.

For you promise yourself that 2018 is going to be different.

2018 is the year you will learn to appreciate and enjoy your own companionship above all else.

You will be your own cheerleader instead of hoping for someone to make you smile.

You will choose to be single instead of being with the wrong person.
