In this new year, I hope you let go.

Let go of toxic friendships and relationships. Let go of the people that hurt you and learn to forgive anyone that has ever wronged you.

In this new year, I hope you go after what you want.

Life is too short to sit around pondering over what you should have done or should have said. Whether it be a job you want, a person you want to be with, or a city you want to live in, go after it, and give it all you've got. I hope you go through this year with no regrets because you didn't let fear hold you back.

In this new year, I hope you let people in.

It may seem almost impossible, but you don't have to be distant or bitter or unbothered anymore. Your guard doesn't need to be up 24/7. It's time to let the hurt go. It's time to start opening up your heart and to be vulnerable and trusting. I hope you open up and share who you really are with someone.

In this new year, I hope you tell people how you feel.

If you love someone, tell them. If someone hurt your feelings, tell them directly and let them know every way that they hurt you. Stop pretending. I hope you come to terms with your feelings. Stop acting as if you are fine, when deep down you're at your lowest of lows. Stop telling yourself that you don't need anyone when on the inside you're begging to be saved. I hope you gain some strength in softening up.

In this new year, I hope you thank the people that have stuck by your side.

Nowadays it can seem almost impossible to find someone that is genuinely always there for you. Often times we find ourselves going through life day by day and forgetting that we have people in our corner cheering us on every step of the way. Be thankful for the people that were there for you when you thought you'd never see the light of another day.
