Thank you to my family, my partner, my friends, my mentors, my teachers, my peers, my improvising partners, my penpals, my plants, the people that say hello in the hallways, the hydrangeas in the park, the community of cats that lives on the hill near Stop n Shop, the bus drivers that didn't charge me, the people who look me in the eye, the members of our cherished failed bookclub, the snow (but only when it's fluffy), the sun (even though it was absent for months), the leafy-greenery that persists in this city, the packages on my doorstep, the million last-minute parking spots that waited for me, the moments of silence, the birds announcing Spring, and everyone and everything that has accompanied me during the last two years. Thank you.
