To every friend who saw something in me that I couldn’t yet recognize and pushed me to grow beyond it. To every stranger who paused long enough to listen, who engaged with my beliefs, and reminded me, “I can see it in you.” To every difficult circumstance that shaped and refined this moment, even when it didn’t feel like it, because I trusted it was leading to something greater.
Thank you all for bringing me to where I am now.
And thank you to God and Mother Earth for every experience, every exchange, and every lesson along the way.
