Thanks for today’s love letter, especially the quote at the end. Marion Konishi’s full graduation speech, as valedictorian, for me amplified the portions in the post.
I read the speech as a lesson in forgiveness, looking forward (not back), and the skillful application of love and understanding to challenging life circumstances.

I am grateful to live in a country where I can read what I like, write from my heart, and grow into my potential.
I am grateful for the courageous, who have fought to make such freedom possible.
Thank you.
