You, my friend, are so insightful and brilliant as usual. I couldn’t agree more with so many of these. Looking forward to catching up with you for more deep conversations about this.

Some of these are gently chiding me, all of them are wise. As usual, I am impressed by your ability to articulate what life is teaching/has taught you and thankful that you continue to share. ❤️

Gosh been reading your birthday notes and words since your 26th birthday and it's been beautiful to see you coming of age and I count it a blessing to experience your words. The birthday notes to yourself have equally motivated me to keep a track of mine.. Happy early birthday, Salem.

Omg, thank you for reading all of these years!! Your comment made me emotional. Thank you for witnessing the journey and also expanding the tradition of writing birthday notes! If you ever feel called to share your reflections, I’d love to read them too!!
