Sometimes you have to take a look back so you can look forward.

The end of the year always feels like a time that you’re supposed to feel bad about yourself: “This year sucked! Next year will be different.”

Sometimes really bad things do happen. Sometimes you have really bad years. But sometimes it wasn't so bad, and the things that were actually made you grow.
