GOODBYE, 2014. I cant pretend you and I were close friends, because you yanked out too many teeth for that. At first, I thought you werent dangerous, but just a medium-sized challenge I could co-exist with so neither of us got hurt. But I underestimated your skill and your depth, 2014, and thats on me. You beat the living hell out of me, stole from me, lied to me, and through all that became my most valuable teacher. You opened my eyes to the fact that I can never allow myself to get too comfortable, too smug, too self-satisfied. You came in many disguises, 2014, both the human and the virtual, the base and the divine, and through many people, you first took away all my toys only to allow me to build new, sharper, and better ones as I stopped taking pity on myself. You were always out of reach, 2014, unlike your sibling 2013, who seemed a closer relative to me, and with kinder habits, but I learned to understand why we had met: you came into my life to slap me, to wake me up, to make me see that treasure is fleeting, and that theres only now, now, and now. Salaam, and safe journeys, 2014. In my pressured moments, I almost pretend I wont miss you, but I will. Because your tough love was the love that woke me up. I suppose all thats left for me to do now is play you a song. Tell 2015 Im ready.
