Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Your Year of the Long Game. This is the year you stay, and staying turns out to be the whole move. Something you began before anyone around you thought it was worth beginning finally shows its structure in the spring, the way a building reveals its bones once the scaffolding comes down. A relationship deepens because you refused to treat it as temporary when temporary would have been easier. Your capacity to outlast the hard middle of a thing, the part where most people turn back, becomes visible to someone who matters, and they tell you so plainly. I love that this is the year you feel the length of your commitment as a power. December arrives and you are still here, further in, clearer on why, already planning the next long move.
