Hi.

** takes a breath **

This year didn’t seem to go as we wanted it, did it? I don’t know about you, but I often find myself tired, distracted, or anxious. And a bit more silent than I would like to be. And in the days when I have no tenderness left to give away, I hope that at least I am not the cause of more anxiety in others.

I don’t know what you’ve lost or turned your back to in the past year – and I dare not ask (although I will read you carefully if you want to tell me), – but I hope what you have gained enough to make up for it. I hope what was left behind was not at the cost of something you can’t rebuild – whether with words, gestures or money. I also hope you managed to find a way to save yourself.

I wish you the world will be more gentle with you. For its elbows to forget the way to your ribs. I wish you shameless satisfaction with what you have achieved – no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to you in this moment. I wish you the freedom to make plans and endless opportunities to achieve them. I wish you a peace of mind.

And above all, I wish you gentleness. Give yourself the same care that you’d give to those closest to you.

With wishes for more kindness,

Zmeyche
