Dear 2023.
Please be kind to us all. Please be gentle, and
forgiving, and soft. I will not place upon your
shoulders the weight of unreasonable expectations – please return this favor to me. Do not try to create a “new me” but rather, let me enter you whole, live through you whole, and move on from you in a year’s time, whole. If I break at any point during your span, please place in front of me both countless reminders and opportunities for healing. Let me recall with optimism and faith all of the times I have fallen, and then rebuilt. Thank you for arriving in front of me. Thank you for the gift of chance and reflection. I am meeting you with awe, gratitude and most importantly hope.
Until next time.
