I loved everything you said esp how you reminded yourself you can do something that is hard. You have no idea how much I needed to read something like that in this moment. I also think this piece reminds me that even when we do things "alone", like run a race no one else can run for us, it is not done in a complete vacuum; we are surrounded by a community who supports us, even if not physically present. I'm so stoked that everything you worked so hard for is finally coming to fruition. Like they say, "the real work to be done is a marathon not a sprint." Thank you for this thoughtful piece and for this thoughtful peace.
