I wanted to write something special for the last blog post of 2017, but no matter how long I stared at the computer, and no matter how many drafts got typed up, I couldn't think of what to say.
I wanted to say something inspirational. I wanted to leave you guys with a sentimental feeling with something you could all relate to regarding 2017.
But I could never find the words, no matter how long I searched.
I'm not very good at thinking of the right words on my feet, but writing has always been my way of expressing what I couldn't think how to say. I don't recall many times when I couldn't think of what to write about something that plays as important of a role in my life as the year 2017 did.
But nevertheless, I don't know what to say about this year.
Maybe that's a good thing.
Maybe I'm meant to do nothing more than to be still, and review the year in silence.
After all, the best words spring from silence.
So instead of writing something inspirational, and leaving you all with a sense of nostalgia, I'm just going to write a quick on the spot poem:
Through the pain and tears
Through the joy and laughter
I have gained a year I hope I never forget
Though at times I was lost
Though at times I was down
Looking back on it now, it was worth the cost
Every yesterday reminds me tomorrow is coming
Every tear reminds me I'm not alone
Every time that my heartbeat starts nervously drumming
I look back and I see how much I've grown
All the times when I questioned and doubted my worth
All seem rather silly when I see what gave birth
And I know now that all of the heartache and pain
Was not, is not, will never be in vain
So to all of the people who made up my year
To everyone both far and near
From the bottom of my heart, I want you to know
That I love you
Thank you for helping me grow.
To everyone reading this, thank you for being a part of my life. I thank God for each and every one of you. I look forward to seeing what adventures 2018 has in store.
God bless you all,
and happy new year. <3
