This first year has been a dizzying, beautiful unfolding, tethered to Thandi and Nkosi's orbits and filled with the dizzying thrill of discovery. From watching the world from my crib to now wobbling to my feet, every day is a new texture, a new sound, and a subtle refinement of who I am. Even with the inevitable stumbles, being loved is the most profound constant as I find my footing in this vibrant city.
