This year has taught me immensely about patience. I’ve learned the simple truth that taking walks with a coffee and a cool breeze in the air helps me more than anything to calm down. It doesn’t solve my problems, but it gives me peace in times of chaos and a little hope that I can try again tomorrow. My time spent in rest affords me the opportunity to reflect, and even if by tomorrow things are still not alright, I know I can do it again.
