"Thank you." These two words are often forgotten especially when we feel like we're at our lowest. I also know how hard it is to say when you can't even see any ray of sunlight — a silverlining — that could help you in moving forward. As I am self-aware right now, let me just say, to my family, thank you for never giving up on me and for being so understanding, to my friends, thank you for being my safe space — a place to breathe when everything seems to suffocate me; to my partner, who gave a different meaning to my life and gave me a passionate kind of love, and most especially to myself, for being so patient with the world and for being hard-working in pursuing her dreams and giving herself a brighter future. Let me just say all these things before I succumb to sadness again. Let me just say all these things, so that the universe would know that I am grateful for all the things I have right now. I hope we never forget to appreciate who are with us and what we have, presently, because that is often the most significant game-changer, that can shift our moods and our lives greatly. — Cho Amisola, The Storytellers Art: @peijinsart
