Dear, Unsealers:

It’s June 30th.

I can’t believe that we’ve already reached the halfway mark of this year. It’s been an eventful six months on my end. From a new job, to new ways of getting my writing across, such as here and new experiences.

I wrote a poem to mark this point in time. With all the hope that there will be more good things to come in the second half of this year.

As the first half of 2023 concludes
Six months went by so quickly

Yet, it felt like a year has gone by

With all the changes in life
New job, new poetry platforms and new experiences
Surrounded by new and old friends

The inner leader was welcomed in
As I took on Manhattan

With flowers, bamboo and photos
To document the changing times
And perhaps, a changing me

At the midpoint of the year

A moment here to catch one’s breath
Before the second half of 2023 begins
