I've learned how much I value quality time
with loved ones - both in person and virtually.
I've learned that nothing really matters - not
big trips, graduation ceremonies, career gains,
requirements, assignments - except for the people you love.
I've learned to be adaptable and accept change,
even when it is unexpected.
I've learned patience.
I've learned to breathe.
To enjoy the moment and just soak it all in.
Nothing will ever be like this again.
To appreciate the little things - the spring
wild flowers in the park, the fresh air after the rain,
the sun tickling my skin, my favorite song...
I've learned how much I love to write.
I'd forgotten how therapeutic it is.
I've learned sleep solves everything.
I've learned how time can pass in a
blink of an eye and be stretched out all at once.
