i know i'm not the easiest person to get along with a lot of the time. thank you for persevering. i hope that 2013 is kinder to you than 2012 has been, and for what it's worth, i hope i can be a better friend to you than i have been. i hope i can be there for you when you need it, i hope i can help you when you're lost; i hope you can forgive my temper and remember that even when i'm being irrational it doesn't mean i want to push you away.
i want to be the kind of friend you can be proud to say you have, and i hope that maybe i'll manage this year.
so when you find this at the end of 2013... let me know how i did.

it's been an interesting year to say the least and admittedly it's a little hard to recall all the good stuff that happened with us. thinking about it, it should be a bad thing but with that inability to recall anything good, I can't think of anything that horrible either. sure there's a moment or two, but a few good ones come up that counter them.
we haven't spoken to each other in such a long time and there are times i try to think about the last time we really did. but then i remember that you've moved on and so have i and there's nothing wrong with that. to know that you've got others that you can depend on, to go to when you need someone-- i've come to realize that i'm okay with that now when once upon a time i was upset. it's hard to pinpoint when that exactly happened, only that it did and maybe that was for the better.
for me, friends are for life and despite us not speaking at all for the past several months, i still consider you one. maybe not as close as we once before but like i said, we've both moved on and that's okay. as long as you're happy, that's all i care about. i will always be here, regardless.
take care and take on the new year with your chin up and a gaze that doesn't hold any fear.

Man. This year. We're really here. There's plenty to plan and organise, but it's going to be so, so worth it. I'm looking forward to putting a dent in the list, hahaha.
Sometimes I wonder why you still put up with me. But I'm really glad you do. Because if I try to imagine a life without Daine? It's not really much of a life at all. You've brought so many wonderful things to my doorstep that to simply say thank you wouldn't really cut it. I'm beyond grateful.
Looking ahead, things might be a little overwhelming right now. So I want you to stop looking ahead for just a moment. Close your eyes, and look back instead. Remember the first conversation we ever had? Terrible 'bro' puns. A plethora of dumb jokes. I finished everything off with, 'I think this is the start of something wonderful.'
I was right. In you, I have found: a partner in crime. A dirty little sekrit
Dun nun, dun nun, dun nunununun. A best friend. Someone really precious to me. Someone I enjoy smooches in hot tubs with. A crack master. A person I cannot wait to share so many things with, because I know that all of it will be accompanied by love and by laughs.I love you, sunshine. I always will.
And now, because this is tl;dr already, I might as well add on a famous poem. You may have heard it.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

There were plenty of moments this year that were difficult; more so than they should have been. I'm proud that we made it through, because it really was a struggle to do so. I'm prouder still of the fact that there's things to look back at this year that are bright, and happy, and just plain wonderful.
We did lose sight of something important; how much friends mean. And we have a lot of important friends that we're not ready to let go of; I hope in the coming year, we have a bit more time to spend on them, to let them know how appreciated they really are. There's things coming up in the near future that are terrifying, and looking back at it, we could have handled various situations better. Try to keep in mind that you have to be willing to face and accept your own mistakes, just like we did this year.
Be grateful for the second chance you struggled so hard to obtain, honey. Make sure you keep fighting for it, make it worthwhile for yourself. Take time to think about what you want this year, since 2012 was a much larger struggle just to survive and become self sufficient again.
The most important thing you have to do in 2013 is take care of yourself. You need to strive and work on that, because making life about others can only work if you're happy in you. Do what you have to do to be the person you know you are, and have been in the past. Be that person you always wanted to be.
You have done so well to get through this year; so make 2013 the best year of your life. Lots of love self!

But I'm so, so glad that I can still say that you're my friend, even after all this time. Even though I know we don't talk as frequently anymore, and that I'm not always very good at giving you the help you need, I hope that we're still friends when you read this next year. You're an amazing person, you know. Not everyone can spread joy the way you do; when you're really, truly happy, you have a way of making everyone around you feel the same, and it's an wonderful thing to see. You've helped me through so much, ever since we've met, even during times when you were going through much worse, and I can't thank you enough for that. So take care of that light in the coming year - after all, it's still glowing, even though so much has tried to dim it. Take care of yourself so that it can keep getting stronger, hun.
I hope that, when you open this at the end of 2013, that you'll have been through a year that you can look back on and smile at. I hope that you'll be shining more brightly than ever. Just keep going, okay? You're one of the strongest people I've met, and I know you're headed for amazing places. And if I can ever help, in any way at all, you know where to find me.
