congratulations aarushi! it is such an important thing sometimes to just remember the fact that we are very young and that there is still so much for us to learn, and in a way it is also a symbol of maturity and kindness to yourself.

i remember you commenting on my post a year ago when i was flying off to university. so much time has passed! it's been so lovely to watch you grow, and i look forward to more :) <3

it's always tricky to try and look at the big scheme. the strength it takes to really make those small choices, with the faith it is really for the best, that they'll be worth it.... long term decisions aren't something i excel at, or at least i don't think i do. as you say, giving up also counts as courage. but i do wonder what it'd be like to get to the other side of something

i guess sometimes it only takes a step. thank you for this piece of hope, i'll keep it. and happy anniversary! i look forward to reading more of your journeys!!
