Some Years

New Year’s Day

Some years you want to pause at the end and reflect. Some years you want to remember the things you learned, the people you met, the love you felt, the places you visited, the things you accomplished. Some years you are sad to say farewell. Some years you run headlong into the next year with high hopes, declaring that you can’t wait to see what it has in store for you.

Some years you want to light the year on fire and walk away while it burns.

This year is the second kind.
