Last year I wrote a post on the 1st of January. Today is the 2nd, but I'm still going to write something because I feel like it and, well, this is my blog and I can do whatever I want with it.
Seriously though, I would like to talk about a song that I've only recently discovered thanks to that amazing cultural resource called YouTube:
The thing is, I'm so bad with words. Which is ironic for someone who wants to be a writer, right? Well, it's true. I always feel like whatever I say, I could phrase it better, and I'm never able to find the right way to express myself.
But fortunately, poems and novels and songs exist. These tiny, little but very powerful things are very often able to speak for me, and this Whitney song is one of them.
I honestly think this song sums up the past year perfectly. Especially at the beginning, I felt so incredibly lost, which led me to make some pretty awful choices, but guess what? I'm still here. And there were definitely times when I thought I wouldn't make it this far.
So, while last year's first post was about that big fat word HOPE (and while I still find that big fat word to be super important), this year's post is about looking back and realizing that even in my darkest hour, even when I stumbled, I did not crumble.
Here's to 2016: another year that will give me the chance to find, prove and know my own strength.
