I feel filled with such appreciation for everything that has happened in this year. I love where I am right now and I am so thankful for everything along the way that's brought me here.
I've deepened existing friendships and made new ones. I've challenged myself and changed. It's been a milestone year; a year of big accomplishments and passing through thresholds. I finished my Master's and I moved away from Toronto, my home of over a decade - something I never really thought I'd do. But I'm really glad I did.
I have continued to grow, to increase my understanding and practice of loving-kindness, ethics of care, mutual aid. I have been gentle and strong, I have taken care of myself very well, and I feel good. I hope people in my life feel loved by me to the degree that I feel it; I feel it strongly and a lot.
Of course I've also had my struggles and my lonely moments. But this year I have felt a solid foundation of goodness.
I feel such gratitude for everyone and everything that has helped me be this and feel this. I have had so much support.
At this point in my life, I feel less like an 'individual' than I ever have. I am an extension of and reflection of you. Thank you.
