A short, first-person YouTube reflection (by Jacqueline Snyder) recounting an emotionally complex year: simultaneous experiences of extreme happiness and sadness, learning to both let go and hold on, losing previous versions of self while discovering new ones, experiencing days of breaking and quiet healing, loving and trying again, and ultimately retaining belief in beautiful endings.
What a weird year. I've somehow been the happiest and the saddest that I've ever been. I've learned how to let go and how to hold on at the same time. I've lost versions of myself I thought I'd be forever and met new ones I never expected. There were days that broke me and days that stitched me back together in quiet ways. I loved. I healed. I tried again. And somehow, even after everything, my heart still believes in beautiful endings.
