Dear 2017,

Let me start this by begging you to PLEASE be good to me. Seriously, 2017, I'm counting on you to be a good year. Let's be honest here for a second, your older brother 2016 sucked. I think I have the support of most of the people out there that 2016 was just all around a bad year for everyone.

So far 2017, I am not really sure how I feel about you. Considering that so far this year I have gotten my wisdom teeth out (a very not fun experience that I do not wish upon my worst enemy), you my friend are not off to the best start.

Now look, I'm not asking for the best year of my life, or even the second best year of my life, all I'm asking for is an okay year. One that is filled with personal growth and good experiences. I'm looking for a year where I finally figure out where I belong in this world. A year with more happy days than sad ones, and more friends gained than lost.

I'm not saying you have to do most of the work either. I'm willing to put in effort if you are. Let's take this opportunity to work together and make this year the absolute best that it can possibly be. I promise you, I will be forever grateful for you 2017 if you turn out to be even half as good as I would like you to be.

Now, I tried to keep this short and sweet, but in case you already forgot here's all that I'm asking for: a good year. A year where I can be truly happy and not have to worry if everything is going to work out because I can have faith in you as a year. Also, if you could ask 2007 what happened to that pony I'm still waiting for that'd be amazing. But no pressure, I'm sure it's on it's way.

Sincerely,

A Girl in Desperate Need of a Good Year
