It’s the last day of one year and you’re looking back at everything that’s happened. Relationships that have ended and began. Things you’ve learned, experiences you wished you’ve never had and ones you’ll cherish forever. The next year looms over you with its unanswered questions, hopes, and dreams. It may be something you face with trepidation but also anticipation.
It’s a threshold between the new and the old, a chance to make good mistakes and seize new opportunities. New Year’s Eve is the perfect day for contemplation and mending old wrongs. It’s also a time of hope and looking into the future.
