But more than financial security, I wish for you to have clarity and peace. The material possessions we accumulate are nothing compared to the relationships we nurture. The bitterness and resentment that have surfaced between us these past days are not insurmountable. However, they require introspection and change.

I’ve moved to a place where I can find my own peace and where I am not seen merely as a means to an end. It’s a small cottage by the lake, a place where I can think, write, and remember the joys of life before they were clouded by misunderstandings.
