And this is why I’m so grateful to have met the participants of this batch. They gave their all, as they drew from their need to speak, to relate, to care, to create, and to journey.

To Aadya, Dameris, Jia Min, Ying, and Xin Rui: these things are scary for me too. And you have made it easier for me by being-with me throughout the 20 weeks. You amazing and beautiful human beings :)

I don’t know what lies ahead - but isn’t that the exciting thing about living? Not knowing?
