""2016 is a year I want to forget," I said to my counselor, who looked at me in a weird way. "I want to forget everything that happened this year."
"And why is that?" She pressed, looking down at her notepad.
I took a long pause, trying to get all my thoughts collected. "Because too much happened this year," I started. "It was all just too much."
"What happened this year that made you feel this way?"
"Well I have this jar in my bedroom, it has all the things that I had wrote in, about everything that happened this year. I stopped writing it when my life went to shit."
"That didn't answer my question, what happened in 2016 that made your life the way it is now?"
"My step mom divorced my father, leaving him crying almost every day. I got anxiety and depression, I stopped playing the sport that I loved because of it. My dog died, my other dog got taken away. But worst of all, I met him," I looked at the ground. "But I guess we have to live through darkness so that we can see the light, that's at least what they say.""
