A Letter to 2009
Dear 2009,
Many times you have tried to fuck me over. Throughout the year, you have inflicted me with health issues, school problems, and broken heart after broken heart after broken heart. I have shed more than enough tears during your presence. What were you trying to do me anyway? Were you testing my inner strength and perseverance? Is all of that trauma and conflict your way of showing me that I am a lot stronger than I give myself credit for? Or did you do all of this just to get a kick out of making my life a living hell? Whatever the reason, there's one thing you should know. Whatever the challenge you have bestowed upon me, I have survived and became stronger because of it. After having my heart and trust broken by the terrible men who were in my life in 2009 made me realize that I will no longer accept guys who will only drain me of my loving and giving spirit. The terrible Winter 2009 semester at school may have shaken me out of my routine but my hope for the following semester has kept my spirits alive and because of that hope, I have persevered through the hardest of times during that academic period. You have drained me of my finances by playing on my self-doubt and difficult living situation but now I have money and I'm making smarter decisions when it comes to balancing my riches and debts. I've learned to turn to myself for strength and assurance that the next day will be alot better than the previous and to keep on going, even when things go awry. You may have pushed me down and around but I'm the one who came out as the winner in the end.
Bon voyage 2009 and I hope I never feel your presence again.
Sincerely,
Aleka
