Was hoping that I would get another swing at this eventually......though, this time with confidence and a liberated sense of self. I did not have that at all, then. But alas, that is not the *trajectory* that life has taken and it’s okay. I think my dreams/goals/values are in a completely different space anyway. I’ll figure out what to do with my hands some other time. Not entirely sure what else to say about this unique experience at the moment, but I dooooo know that I am grateful to have been a part of this group of people. Grateful to have been given the opportunity to be challenged and to grow. Heartbroken and relieved. Crying and laughing. Mourning and moving on. -bIG dEaL-
