It's a truly cathartic experience for all of us. I said goodbye to a toxic friendship that stressed me out. We can all relate to wanting to shed ourselves of a memory from this past year.
The wishes ranged from ending war and intolerance to more personal pledges like saying goodbye to anxiety. Knowing my bad memories become confetti for the NYE Ball Drop makes it even more meaningful!
