Leave what's heavy behind

This ain't no time for regret
To witness without mercy but neither to forget
If we keep looking backwards, it'll break our necks
This ain't no time for regret

2016 taught me a lot of lessons. It taught me more lessons than I cared to learn. More than I needed to learn.

The biggest lesson 2016 taught me is that it can always get worse... because it did.

I realized recently that I have done a lot of forgiving this year. I think I can do lot of forgiving in the coming year as well. Other than the one person who will never receive my forgiveness, I think everyone else can pass if they want to reach out. Only if they reach out. I'm not putting myself out there any time soon, and I'm definitely going to remain guarded. However, I will try my hardest not to carry around this hatred anymore. I've made great strides by ways of moving on, and I'm not slowing down or stopping yet.

I had a list ready of all the bad things that happened this year. I was also going to list the good things. I had all kinds of quotes and references I was going to sprinkle throughout this post, but I'm just too tired. And that is how I leave this year: tired.

Good riddance.

That's it.

I'm done talking about.
