Congratulations! You just survived 365 days of challenges! But don’t deny it, because I know you also enjoyed some of my days, I saw you when you took note of that date and wrote them in your diary as your most special day in my calendar.
I know dear, it wasn’t just a roller coaster ride, it was a theme park. I was a theme park filled with lights, beautiful things, and happy people. One ride cradled you as if you were literally on the clouds and I have never seen you so happy. But you had to go through my highest obstacle which you never wanted to try, no one wanted to try but look at you, you were one of those who braved it! To be honest, I myself never thought that you could that. You made me feel proud, buddy!
You met people, made friends, share stories and experiences but knowing some of them had consequences. You met people who took away your sanity and happiness and even ruined your solitude. I may not know how painful it was for you but I saw how devastated you were. I was there and was ready to hold you, but I just watched as you try to pull yourself together and face my challenges again. Then again, you made me proud because you did not fight back, instead, you fought the anger within you. Silently.
Never ever blame yourself, or regret being nice to the people you’ve met through me, they are all part of the wonderful process being prepared for you. Also, do not forget how you conquered the battle I threw at you, bring all those painful memories with you, not to distress but to equip you for the challenges that the 2019 may bring.
You were bruised, scarred and hurt but believe me, I was celebrating when I saw you approaching my exit doors, now more vigorous and more ready to open the gates of 2019.
PS: Let me a tell you a little secret, (I knew you were one of those who will endure) *wink*
Sincerely,
2018
