“the year of letting go, of understanding loss. grace. of the word ‘no’
and also being able to say ‘you are not kind’. the year of
humanity/humility. when the whole world couldn’t get out of bed.
everyone i’ve met this year, says the same thing ‘you are so easy to be
around, how do you do that?’. the year i broke open and dug out all the
rot with own hands. the year i learnt small talk. and how to smile at
strangers. the year i understood that i am my best when i reach out and
ask ‘do you want to be my friend?’. the year of sugar, everywhere.
softness. sweetness. honey honey. the year of being alone, and learning
how much i like it. the year of hugging people i don’t know, because i
want to know them. the year i made peace and love, right here.”
