Final Entry

Back home, at long last, in Seattle, Washington, USA.

I'd just like to thank you all for your love and support and for helping make this opportunity possible for me. This year was by the far the best year of my life and I'm blessed to have had such great friends and family supporting me from home.

I love you guys! Here's to the next adventure.

"I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage, like the despicable fabrication of the impotent and infinitely small Euclidean mind of man, that in the world's finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments, for the atonement of all the crimes of humanity, for all the blood that they've shed; that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify all that has happened."

— Fyodor Dostoevsky
