Nicely put! As you said, "Try to remember the euphoric feeling, not the persons on it." Last year definitely held some rough patches and bumpy times but its the experience that we should remember and use the information from those experiences to learn and move forward. You put it so beautifully with saying, "Embrace this new year with full positivity and bravery."
No one really knows what the future holds but when you approach it with positivity and a great mind set, that is when you begin to win. Awesome post and thank you for sharing!
