dusk till dawn 

Dear 2016,

I'm not going to take long, I promise.

You've been quite a tremendous year. In many ways so challenging, yet so sweet and spoiling.

I just wanted to thank you that you welcomed someone very special in my life. Someone who made every day merrier. Someone who understands who I am. I think I can admit it - it's been my golden birthday. Thanks.

You've upsetted me a few times as well. But thank you for that. It gives me even more strength. 

Just please talk to 2017. I need to finish law school, get a job, pass the bar exam... I just wish people who I love so much stand by me during these times. That's my only wish next year. I kept my promise, you keep it too, please.

Love,

A.

P.S. When it rains, it showers.
