Dear Nadia, this was so beautiful to read! I loved the journey you took us on through different stages of your life – it made me feel that in remembering who you were before, you also remember who to be today, and why.

Reading what you wrote reminded me of this quote from Anais Nin that has always inspired me on my own journey of becoming – “and the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

I love your tribute to the house that raised you – it is so moving. I’ve always felt that we connect with places we’ve been, in much the same way as we connect with people we meet.

And your question at the end about what makes me run towards what I run away from really got me to reflect. I think for me, it is finding the sense of home and peace within me that can only come from living in a way that makes me feel truly alive.

Thank you for sharing your words and heart with us, and I’m looking forward to reading more about your journey of remembering, where you invite us to remember too <3 <3
