/səˈpɔːt/
bear all or part of the weight of; hold up.
In the final instalment of Season 1, we take time to reflect on those who have carried us to where we are today. In reality, nobody has accomplished anything on their own and thus, we have to show our gratitude to those who have been our pillars in times of need. As we’ve entered 2023, let us lean on each other and push each other to new heights.
I would personally love to show my gratitude to each and everyone of you who have held me up from the beginning to where we are today, as well as those who've joined the family along the way. It has been one hell of a journey and I could not have done it without you. I appreciate you all for the support and belief you have given me to curate the music that feeds your soul.

Our community and the company we keep is what shapes the people we are and how we choose to co-exist. Being part of a community is something fundamental to human survival and thus the need to feel a sense of community gifts us with strength unfathomable to what we're privy to and it is for that we should cherish the feeling. Together, we are always stronger and as a result, more successful - we keep going and we keep giving thanks to those who make every part of our ecosystem worth it.

/fəˈɡɪvnɪs/
the action or process of forgiving or being forgiven.
It is most challenging to forgive those close to you if they injure or betray you. Sometimes the degree of trust broken dictates how easy or difficult it is to forgive. However, it is true that the easier we find it to forgive someone, the less likely it is that we will suffocate ourselves by harbouring ill will against the wrongdoer. It is a strength more than a weakness, and it is that strength that keeps us sane, an underrated form of self-love; something that is worthy of self-gratuity.

Through the turmoil that we experience in this life, finding peace is something that is imperative. This is not to say that peace is found where there is no noise and turmoil. If anything, peace is found in the midst of all the pandemonium, in a place where your soul has found that tranquility. Protect your soul because it is your peace. Without it, we're on a path to deterioration. Prioritze yourself. Show up for yourself. Find solace in your own presence. Its the superpower we all need.
