This year has been a lot of loud bells and confusing grown-up talk that makes my tummy feel funny, and it feels like everything around me is shifting. Even though things feel wobbly and a little scary sometimes, I'm holding onto the quiet moments with the people I love, and finding comfort in my own little corner of the world. I'm learning that growing up means carrying a little bit of the grown-up world's weight, but I'm still trying to chase the sunshine.
