Beautiful People

Hello all,

I haven't been updated in awhile, so I wanted to take this opportunity to very quickly explain why.

First of all, my computer went into a coma last week. As of yesterday it is completely out of commission. In the time that my computer has been unusable I have had access to a family computer during very select hours of the day. This limited access made it rather hard for me to find material and to post.

I was not really planning on getting a new computer, but the project I have been working on requires one. Therefore, I have purchased a new laptop. After I get my new computer tomorrow night, I will be able to update you all much more regularly. I might even throw in an update about the beautiful design of my new laptop. :)

The other reason I haven't been able to update recently is that I have been prepping for my move to Chicago this Saturday.  I have never lived in a large metropolitan area before. To be honest, I have been rather anxious about it. However, I've both met and heard stories of some pretty spectacular people that live in the Chicago area, and my roommates have been amazing about preparing our apartment for my arrival. They are committed to creating a happy home for me, something I desperately need at this point in life, and due to their hard work I am much more relaxed.

I guess I was just worried because I have been witness to a lot of hate and cruelty lately, and I didn't want to face that alone in an unfamiliar territory. These beautiful in my life have but my fears to rest; I am not just speaking about my roommates but also the other citizens of Chicago I have come across, many of whom I haven't even spoken to. They have just shown out as strangers with kind hearts; and as long as strangers with kind hearts still exist, I have nothing to worry about.

To all of you who show kindness to others, who value the happiness and lives of others and not just your own, all of those of you share your compassion and generosity and humility and love and courage, who chose to do the right thing instead of the easy thing, regardless of who you are or where you are from or how easy or hard your journey has been thus far: You are beautiful.

You are the most beautiful thing in the world. I commend your efforts, and should you ever feel unappreciated or hopeless or like the work you do does not matter: know that your lives and your effort fill my life with beauty and light and purpose and strength, and make my journey easier.

I truly and deeply thank you for that.

Namaste and have a good evening,

Luna
