Dear 2024

Dear 2024, You were like a friend to me, who at times left me frustrated and hurt. At first I didn't think that`s what friends are meant to do. But like all the other years before you that have come and gone. I am reminded by the fragility of it all, and how precious hardship is. I won't censor myself, I hated you at times. And like many of my friends and myself, i know you will pass. And it won't be hardships I remember, It will be the greatness born from them. Thank you for all the strange, beautiful, horrible things you`ve shown me. It`s helped me grow towards the person I am meant to be. One year soon, I won`t be here, So, while I am, Thank you in a world i can be so uncomfortable and afraid in. you`ve been honest and that`s what friends do. Here`s to seeing you around. Knowing I'll never see you again.
