Oh, 2016.
I've thought a lot about history
and how people try to romanticize you.
I've thought a lot about this year
and the dissatisfaction people have gotten from it while living it.
I've thought a lot about periodization
and how people in the future label the past.
This was a year of heartbreak and growth
not only for the individual but large groups of people
unified under uncertainty.
A new year doesn't change what has come before
but replenishes in a way that revitalizes
and
inspires
something new.
