This year feels deep,
with an unspoken, self-evident fate,
with the perseverance that presses forward despite a road full of difficulties,
with the core of warmth that remains after the noise fades.
I’ve accepted a lot, and let go of a lot.
It’s good that I didn’t give in—I’ve taken in every turn of events.
This isn’t the most breathtaking year of my life,
but it is the year I truly came to understand my inner self.
