To all those who I've met these past years
And those I'll meet in the next
To those I've let go
Those whom I've somehow grown even closer to
And those I do not know

This year is going to be like all the others
Never easy, day after tired day
But I hope this year brings you light and love as well

May you find passion and purpose, hope and happiness
Whatever black, white or grey times are on their way
May you discover new strengths and stay up late to watch the stars

I hope you remember how it feels to love yourself this year
I hope you taste what it means to be alive

And may this new year bring you all the best that life can bring.
