"Okay, so–that happened.That could have gone better.(It could have gone worse.)You made it around..."

“Okay, so–that happened.

That could have gone better.

(It could have gone worse.)

You made it around the sun another time, so–

that’s something.

Of course, home feels a little less like home,

and alone feels a little more like suffocating.

That’s okay. You’re gonna learn

to breath through it, someday.

Maybe next year.

But the good news is,

you cried a lot, this year.

Keep doing that.

It’s one of the most important things

you know how to do, even though

you think you’re bad at it.

You made it through this

sideways hiccup of a year,

even though it waltzed you out the door

with two left feet. You stumbled–

but you kept going.

And that’s something.

So, I’ll drink to us.

I’ll dedicate this next song to survival.

We’ve got our hearts in our teeth

instead of roses,

but if there’s time for one last dance,

by god, lets make it a tango.”
