23.

Today marks my 23rd birthday. It has not been an easy year, that's for sure.

It has been full of heartbreak, failure, and feelings of hopelessness.

But along with the hopelessness and despair, there have also been moments of joy, laughter, and beautiful blue skies.
If this year has taught me anything, it's that even in the darkest hours, I am strong enough to overcome whatever life throws my way.

And the sun will come again.
