    This is dedicated to all those who have given me the love and support I have received during my four years at NEC:

    I love you all as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers.

    Thanks to the love you have given me, a certain fragrance has risen from the earth and dwells in my being. 

    In the presence of your care, the shadows dance with light unseen, a secret symphony of nature’s grace. 

    Your care is like the breath that stirs dormant seeds, awakening life in the depths of my heart.

    Like a twilight breeze on a moonless night, your care lingers, invisible yet profound.

    With your support, I find solace in the mystery of human connection, a journey of love, eternally unbound.

    You allow the beautiful creature in me to rise above the pain, smile above hate, cry above madness.

    You help to mend what has been broken in me and ignite what is still very much alive.

    I thank you all from my heart!
