Dear 2021,
Let me start out by saying
That you have been one of the most eye opening years
That I have ever lived.
Through so much pain
You've shown me how to be strong
Through so little guidance
You've shown me how to stand tall
Yet you put me through that pain
Numerous friendships completely lost
Memories of people that should be forgotten
Lost interests and half-hearted hobbies
But I learned a lot about myself
About those around me
About our society
About life
And I will say, I needed this
All my life I struggled
Never knowing who I am
Who I am supposed to be
Well now I have an identity
I have my own societal views
I have the ability to pick and choose
I have a friend group that I love
And I can finally say that I'm enough
So through this pain
And all this change
You've definitely rewarded me
With nothing to hate
Good friends
Supportive family
Some sort of motivation
And a loving girlfriend
2021, I really hated you for a bit
You treated me rough
Sure, not as rough as most others will say
But it wasn't a good ride at first
Now, in hindsight,
Thank You
I am a somebody
I'm proud to be this somebody
