Goodbye 2017, and good riddance

I think most everyone is in agreement that 2017 has gone on for entirely too long, no? It's more than past time for this year to be dead and buried.

Normally, this is where I'd sum up the year, talk about hits and misses, make grand plans for the year to come. It feels different, this time. It's not a celebration, but rather a recognition of survival.

I know not everyone made it out of 2017. Far too many lost their lives for little more than being themselves. Words will never be enough to make up for the loss, but perhaps they can direct us away from any more loss.

To quote nudityandnerdery on Tumblr, there are three things to remember for the coming year: Be brave, be kind, be careful.

Take care of yourselves, my friends, and remember when we move into the next year - 2017 will be over, and you're still here. That means you win.
