May every year be better than the one before.
May your lows be only valleys soon crossed.
May your highs show you the way to another mountain.
May you find strength in old friends, and joy in new.
And in all things to come, may you enjoy the journey.

Most likely I am meant to post something deep and insightful here, but right now I’m just focused on getting this year over and the first half of next year over with as quickly as possible. I have a feeling a good portion of my life will be played at fast forward for the next half-decade or so. *sighs*

So tomorrow, I will be wise and deep and full of new life and purpose… and today I shall bid farewell to a year passed. *raises a glass* To the things I did, and the things I didn’t do. To the friends I made and lost. To life, and all its goods and evils. To a year I will not have to live again, and I am glad for it. Hear, hear!
