The kind that leaves you smiling at the memory of easy experiences and endless laughter for years to come. I found happiness in my own arms and in the arms of people who settled inside my soul. I shed parts of myself and gained new parts parts that were wiser, kinder, softer, and bolder, and parts that roared in different ways. I read books that taught at me about self-love, I watched movies that took me to alternate worlds and I listened to music that soothed my soul. I found love in new ways – in the form of friendship, family, and colleagues, and in the form of a person who felt like sunlight on the darkest days of the year. I walked on foreign land and discovered history, I met new people and received love and humanity from strangers. I danced on the streets with my loved ones, music loud in our ears and identical loud smiles on our faces that roared how happy we were, and I shared stories as each night turned into day. I tasted salty water and felt the sand find a home between my toes as I walked into self-discovery.
I spent hours writing away the pain that settled like paint into my fingertips, which I used to create the type of art that healed countless hearts.
I visited places, watching the sunset behind torn buildings and rise by the ocean, I watched time pass in small cafés with a book, coffee and myself for company. I made friends, the kind who taught me about life and hurt and healing.
This year was bittersweet, and I learned more than I could imagine.Įach cold morning faded into a delicate summer’s day and I made new memories, soft and layered with a nostalgic longing that sends my emotions spiraling backward every time that I think of them.
