Honestly, I couldn't be more ecstatic that 2017 is finally coming to an end. While I am grateful to have made it another year, this was by far one of the hardest years I've endured. 2017 knocked me down more times than I can count; and while I shed a few tears, I got back up on my feet every time. The year was rough, but here I am still standing strong.

Your 20-somethings are definitely a rough stage in life; having to choose the right career path, balance friendships / relationships + become financially stable, all while still trying to find yourself. Why didn't anyone tell me it was going to be this hard?! And at what point does it get easier......

While I definitely will not miss you, I will say thank you, 2017! Thank you for getting me out of my comfort zones. Thank you for breaking me down + leaving me with no choice but to be strong.

You may have kicked my ass, but we still had some good laughs + memories.

So with that, I say goodbye + good riddance 2017! Tomorrow starts the year that could change everything.
