Living

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." -Oscar Wilde

Hello, my dear Piece.

I know I've been away for a very long time, but I want you to know that I am happy. I spend time with the people I love; I am doing the things I love doing. And yet, I am coming to a crossroads.

As you very well know, I graduate soon. I am using this opportunity to go on an adventure. I am going to move somewhere I've never been, and get a job working for a company I've never heard of, and live among people who have had experiences I've never had. 

And you know what, Piece? I'm excited for the unknown. For the adventure. In writing this, I am realizing that I've come quite a long ways from where I was two years ago. And it is all thanks to you, my dear friend. You have brought the pieces together and have shown me what it is to have a full life. I hope to never take that for granted. 

Thank you for coming with me on this journey, my dear Piece. Thank you for letting me talk to you when I could not talk to anyone else. Thank you for helping me organize my thoughts. Thank you for helping me find my motivation. Thank you for showing me what it was to be thankful. 

Thank you for getting me to live.
