but for real though, i truly hope everyone finds peace with themselves this year. life is already difficult enough as it is, and we're continuously bombarded with bad luck and misfortune despite our efforts.
i hope with each passing year, you allow yourself to let go of any burdens and not blame yourself for things beyond your control.
sometimes—actually, a majority of the time—life doesn't go the way you plan, and the sense of guilt and futility will swallow you whole. but when that time comes, pat yourself on the back and tell yourself, "you're a decent person. you've done well. thanks so much for enduring."
it'll be ok.
