here's to 2016.

here's to less heartbreak, less tears
to happy moments, the laughter
to the comfort we've been longing for.

here's to growth and learning
to rebirth and second chances
to change and peace wherever we can get it.

here's to acceptance
to gentleness and strength in the worst times
to embracing romance and sexuality, if that's your cup of tea

here's to the best time of our lives
and if not, to keep believing;
maybe it'll be the year.
here's to 2016.
