Dear 2013,
I never said goodbye because I never gave you a proper hello. I suppose your resentment was evident enough but for what it's worth, I thought about you from time to time.
Instead of actually getting to know each other it was more like a bad one-night stand that left us awkwardly bumping into each other at discount grocery stores throughout the whoel year. Never knowing if we shoudl say hello because we never said goodbye.
There's so much I could say but I don't believe in living in the past so I hope you have some better life in a parallel universe or that Father Time puts you out of your misery.
As for you, 2014, I hate to be cynical but right now I'm really not in the mood for fake hugs and shallow salutations so lets just make a pact right now to be honest with each other and keep the drama to a minimum. I'm tired of a lot of things and like a rookie president after a two-term disaster, you might get blamed for things that happened before you stepped out on the red carpet. For that, I apologize in advance.
Again, it's nothing personal, I just... need some time. You're the new kid on the block and after 2013, I'm not inclined to trust as easily as I normally would. So, let's start out as friends and see where the next twelver months take us.
