In times of quiet solitude I am able to reflect on my positions in life. The human experience can be ruthless and unrelenting, and the busy murmurs the mind provides can often be louder than the world beyond my head. When I am afforded these moments to think, I am humbled by the realization of my fortune. I have friends. I have family. I have a life where I am allowed to create to my leisure. I am hungry still for my passions. These are treasures that often go thankless. So, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
