here's to the end of this chapter. to all the late nights, early mornings, learnings gained and experiences shared. here's to the hardships that became our teachers. to the heaviness that taught us how to rise again. and to the people who would stop their world to sit and celebrate our presence.

here's to the times we chose feeling over disconnection. freedom over perfection. courage over what's known and certain. and doing the work. here's to releasing what wasn't ours to keep. here's to holding our palms wide open to our blessings. and here's to taking one step forward into the hope + possibility of tomorrow.
