This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Waterloo chapter.
When all that’s left are memories of people and things
Scattered thoughts of joy and despair. All jumbled up into a number
2018
You can move on now. Because it’s all done.
No turning back, no regretting. Leave your sorrows in 2018
Now, I’m not saying make a resolution. Because who sticks to that?
Rather just leap forward
With open arms and an open heart
Embrace the next day, embrace 2019
However, don’t just expect 2019 to be better
While still clinging on to the rope of 2018
Let go of last year’s failures, don’t bind yourself to them
It’s a whole new year, with adventures to seek and people to meet
Let this cup start empty by washing off all the past rust.
And fill it to brim with whatever this year has to offer.
Just close your eyes and jump right in.
