I’ve always lived my life from the perspective of how I might look back on it. It’s been a blessing and a curse. It helps me to appreciate a moment, but sometimes, I get lost in the actual moment as I struggle\u00a0to digest it in hindsight. This week and the next few will highlight that supreme struggle. As my friends and I prepare to leave and ultimately say goodbye to the life we’ve built for ourselves in Detroit, I will reflect both on the past several years and reflect on the moments I find myself in.<\/p>\n
While Detroit has often felt like a revolving door, it has unexpectedly positioned itself as a home. As I work through the transition, change, and growth that will come in the next month, I hope to balance my chronic struggle with reflection and perspective. I hope to look back on the years with happiness and gratitude and without sacrificing the end of this era. I hope to look back and look forward but remain present as I come to terms with what this time has meant to me.<\/p>\n
