We should be much more cautious, both in believing and in condemning.
Michel de Montaigne
Your Year of the Open Door. This is the year you discover what happens when you let someone's truth land without catching it first, and the answer changes you in the best possible way. A conversation in February goes somewhere neither of you planned, and you come out of it carrying a new piece of yourself you recognize immediately. By summer, a relationship that has been warm becomes genuinely close, the shift small and then suddenly total. The hard truth you know how to hold gently this year, you learn to hold for yourself too. That is the gift the year has been saving. You have always been the person others trust with the difficult thing. Now the year asks you to trust what the difficult thing brings back.
