2010, my new best friend

dear 2009,

i never realized how fast you went by. it was only a year ago i thought i had everything i wanted..everything i needed..but no. i was in such denial that i lied to myself thinking i was contented.

laughter ended up in tears, smiles became frowns, happiness turned into sadness, trust and love were broken. i was caught in a beautiful mess and got through it on my own. i am weak-hearted. i am not strong. but i am proud i managed.

there's nothing in you that i wish to bring and share with this new friend of mine. you were too harsh and i don't think you should be around anymore. and so i'm telling you that i'm leaving you behind. please let me go. i need to move on.

i hope you don't mind this new friendship of mine. i'm hoping he'll show me a positive year ahead. you had your time. so i'm saying goodbye to you and thanks for everything. farewell.
