This is what we chose. We chose this place. We chose each other. We chose to grow. We chose to let the tears cleanse us. We chose to sharpen one another. We chose to be supportive. We chose to be vulnerable. We chose to never settle. We chose to reach for more. We chose to go to the deepest part. We chose to give it our all. We chose to do the invisible work. This time chose us and we chose to answer with a “yes”. We choose this still. We choose to not dwell on the past. We choose to soar. We choose a living hope. We choose to seize this very moment. We choose the special. We choose the road less traveled. We choose to do the other thing. We choose to get free-er. We choose the frontlines. We choose to believe that we have been chosen for such a time as this.
