Dear 2016

I don't care what everybody is saying you were not a bad year. Sure some good people died but some good people were born too.
There were disappointments and achievements but that goes for any year.

You were a year of winter solstice when the darkness seems it will never end but we need to see the darkness in order to find the light.

Thank you 2016 your darkness has caused many good people to strike a match and their fires will blaze brightly in the New Year.

Dear 2016,

1 more hour and you are officially over. Thank you for the friends that you gave me. Thank you for the friends that left. Good or bad, I learned something from each and every one of them. I look forward to another year love making new friends and learning new things. For all of the friends that did stick around, I appreciate you more than you will ever know.
Now I can only hope that in 2017, I will finally learn to think more of myself. And less of others. I need to find strength in myself so I get hurt less. I'm old enough now to finally say I need to come first.

Happy new year! ⚘

Dear 2016, I want you to know that there are no hard feelings. Sure, neither of us cared for the other. And, yes, by all metrics you beat me. But I think it's for the best. I needed a hard loss.

I'll take the results and move on. I won't hesitate or indulge in the defeat. The goal is to look back on you like a bridge, like some obstacle necessary for progress. And if everything works out, you'all be my amusing anecdote, you'love be my crazy ex-girlfriend.

2016, it's time we parted ways. I'm sure you'look be as glad to be rid of me as I am of you.

From the Dear X thread


Dear 2016,

I'm glad I made it through. I've been shown that I'm strong (that my strength comes from within); resilient; have grown in my faith. I've been shown that I have value and am learning to believe that; am worthy of love and respect; am priceless.

I've opened my heart up and had it broken. But, I still believe in seeing the good in people and realize that everyone has their own journey.

I'm learning that it really is okay to cry and be mad and feel overwhelmed. But, I also know that I must pick myself up, because wallowing is not an option. I choose joy and peace.

I have my kids and my friends. I am blessed, despite everything that is happening.


Feeling Thankful

Dear 2016,

You threw a lot of bullshit and pain at me but I deflected a good deal of it and turned it into positive experiences. I'm going to take that into this next year and make it the best year ever. You tried to break me but I pulled a Dark Knight Rises (bad Batman movie, great metaphor for this) and fought my way out of the cave. I beat your ass, dickpump.

And 2017,

Just...no more girl drama. Please. You know me and you know I've met my quota. Laughter and good times are what's needed. And, yes, I am going to need to get laid again at some point. So send someone lovely and sane my way if possible? When the time comes? Whatayasay pal?

Dear 2016...


One year ago today, on January 2....Something happened that I had no hope would ever happen. I met my needle. After many years of pain, frustration, ridiculousness.. she rolled into my life and for the first time I learned what love and hope were. My walls were ridiculously high and no one was going to break them down, but they were no match for this beautiful, fiery redhead. She's gorgeous, sexy, smart, classy, thoughtful, considerate, eager to please, she's a great mom, a great woman, a great person, an amazing partner, my very best friend, my confidant, my sidekick.

I literally had no hope in 2015 that she existed. I'd told one of my best friends that I had no hope for finding true happiness just the week before I found her. All I really wanted and expected at the time was a woman of no drama, no bullshit. One that appreciated me and all I bring to the table. In the end, I found my one, my soulmate, my unicorn. She is everything I could have ever wanted. I could not have Weird Scienced a better partner for me.

We spent the night in a hot tub room last night so we could enjoy each other with the intimacy that privacy brings. We woke together today all wrapped up, and thanked God that he brought us together.

Life is amazing. Thank you 2016...



Dear 2017...

Other than marrying my one true love, how do we top 2016?????


Signed... Can't wait to find out.

So, I posted in the "Dear X" thread, and a few others wanted to say a few things to 2016, so I thought let's all bid adieu to 2016...

Dear 2016,

Thanks for the few good points of the year, really, I appreciate you stopping by, but it's time for you to go.

I think that you've overstayed your welcome and taken too much from the world and from me personally this year. Things were good when you first arrived. Seemed to be going along pretty well, but then you started to be an asshole. You took some great people from the world, including one that I loved and I had to tell my kids about shattering their own perfect world. Then came the cancer bomb? Nice way to really earn the distinction of unwanted guest.

And then there's the whole "President Elect" thing...good GOD! Just stop!! Just go away and we won't mention your name anymore.

We won't even talk about the total screw up of my feelings and sex life this year...

So, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out!

Fuck off 2016!

Signed,

Ready for your predecessor

"Things were good when you first arrived"? 200 cases of sexual assault by migrant Muslims in Germany is not good. And 2017 started off with a terrorist shooting in Turkey.

Things are only good for SJWs right now and in the previous year.

Dear 2016 it's been a bitter-sweet year but my wife and I made it together. I suppose this is the sickness of our sickness and health vows but we haven't given up.

I planned ahead and bought a smaller home back in the mid west where I was born and we were raised. We'd retired to NW Florida 23 years ago to our little piece of paradise, no plans of every leaving. But first my wife began having problems walking. I nearly had heart failure for a second time and now I was having difficulty getting around.

Our grown kids told us they were coming to get us, leaving nearly everything we'd collected for many years behind. Within days were were back in the new older home I'd bought site unseen over the internet. We needed very little. I bid on and bought the nearly new furniture. Our grown kids picked up everything else we needed from the shops and stores, with my money. But they all did a great job and I'm sure some of the money spent was their own. We soon realized we didn't need any of those material things left behind.

Six months have passed, it's colder than a well-diggers ass in Utah, but we spent Christmas with our kids and their families, New Years with a few very old friends, and somehow we are both walking without a walker or cane again.

A minor setback. I have prostrate cancer. But also have the best cancer doctors and the latest equipment to beat this crap.
So while some of you bitch and moan, we are very thankful for 2016. After all, we may not be around after our newest political leaders screw up America and half the world kills each other for power.

Bring on 2017 and let's see how badly we can screw it up.

PS. Stop fantasizing before it's too late. Just do it! Part of what keeps us going are the memories of our perverted past.
