Breaking up

December 26, 2016

Dear 2016, I’m breaking up with you and I’m happy to do so… Dear 2016, you’ve been a very strange, exhausting year, you’ve hurt me and so many of those whom I love… You took away too many precious lives, smiles, happiness, things and brought way too much darkness and struggles.

I didn’t give you a permission to down spiral on me like that and seeing that others around me have suffered equally makes me upset! 2016, you’re lame… You have promised to be the best year so far, but all I can recall is that you’ve stormed through like a hurricane, took everything you could grab and are leaving now so much up to 2017 to repair and pick up the “building blocks”. May you rest in peace for forever, I and people around me are in a need of a good year ad you weren’t one.

If I’m going to be 100% honest and still try to find that silver lining in every dark tunnel… I have to say that you did dare to be merciful here and there by brining some of the most amazing people into my life and sending some jerks away for good. I’m also thankful to you for all of the work and inspiration ( I guess that suffering is still my favourite motivation? :O ) because you made me work so hard for my dreams and goals.

Thank you 2016 and *uck you too! I’m gonna deal my cards with 2017 differently…

Wishing you all a great last couple of days of this weird year… Let me know what are your thoughts on 2016?? Was this year kind or hard on you?

*Thank you Kämp hotel, Destiny store and Pandora jewellery for the location, clothes and jewellery!

    A beautiful sad post, Natali. Too many of us suffered this year. Even now, every time I switch on the radio, another celebrity has died. Let’s hope 2017 will be more kind to us. Hope you had a lovely Christmas.
    Ever, Jo

    Aamen! Sinä puit sanoiksi sen, mitä minä ajattelin myöskin vuodesta 2016. Viimeinkin koittaa se päivä, kun saamme heittää hyvästit tälle vuodelle ja toivottaa tervetulleeksi paremman vuoden 2017! Toivon, että tuleva vuosi tuo sinullekin paljon riemun hetkiä, onnistumisia ja rakkautta Natali 🙂 sinulla on ihanan voimaannuttava syvällinen blogi.

    I love the way you have composed this text its so clever! 2016 was the year I seemed to live in extremes, of good and bad! Hopefully 2017 will be more balanced. I have a good feeling about this year.

    2016 was an awful year for me. My ex fiancé left me out of nowhere when I was 6mo pregnant. I laid in a depression for 6 months from it. I am okay now though and I am able to enjoy my two little girls now! Here’s to a brighter 2017 filled with love, light, smiles and health! Xoxo
