2012 was. not good. at all. you know that, i know that, but regardless of it, there's this to show we got through it. i want you to know that you were happy, as i'm writing this, so just know that even if shit's rough... remember that, okay? you can be happy. it's hard, but there's pay off and you'll get it.

i don't know how 2013 will be, but i know you're strong and you're worth more than you think you are, and you have so much to give, so if you're reading this: congratulations. you made it through another year. you can do it again and again. i love you and thank you for all the support this year.
