Love Letter to Life

Dec 31, 2023

Dear 2023,

Thank you for challenging me while keeping me safe.

For not making my life smooth so I can grow fast.

For exciting me with new opportunities while holding me close to the ground.

For reminding me of what truly matters when I lost my way.

For the wisdom, chances and lessons.

Thanks for not giving me what I wanted but guiding me to what I needed.

For the disappointments that taught me to let go.

For forcing me to surrender when I tried to hold on to things out of my control.

For exhausting me so I listened to my body again.

For bringing me closer to my authentic self.

Thanks for introducing new people and the lesson that they might disappear.

For keeping those who care around even when I couldn't see them.

For teaching me to love myself while serving others.

For experiencing moments of energy, laughter, and dancing like no one's watching.

For the closeness, affection, care, and deep emotions.

Thanks for letting me fail without feeling like a failure.

For giving me tools to ground myself after every fall.

For shaping me into someone stronger and kinder.

For pushing me to fly even when fear was gripping my heart.

For the ocean breeze, the sounds of waves, and colourful sunsets.

Thanks for reminding me that everything is impermanent.

Thank you for life.

Goodbye, and looking forward to what 2024 will bring.

Yours truly,

Adela <3

…and you might think what if I fall, well, what if you don’t, what if you fly?
