Day 351

Today was our final farewell of the year since people start leaving this week. It was everything we could have hoped for: somewhat structured but overall informal and cozy, filled with affirmations towards each other about what we appreciated about each person in the group, the Meraki musicians performed, people got up to speak from the heart (not I), I cried from looking at random people I’m sad I won’t see every day, and at the end of it all we went to a karaoke bar and sang + danced our heinies off, and it was aaaalll just perfect.
