What I want to say most is that I am not an improved or better version of myself than I was a year ago because that is no longer a goal — but I am a truer version, a closer-in version, a more expansive and open version, a less clinging-to-certainty version, and that, to me, counts for a lot more than seeking to endlessly upgrade myself.
“People think you want them to do something or say something special...you don't. You just want them to be themselves, so you can be yourself.”
-John Lennon
