It's so crazy how much things can change in such a short time. The last time I wrote on this blog was before I left for Queen's to do my Bachelor of Education, and now two years later it seems like nothing is the same. This past year (2020) and even up until now, I have experienced more changes all at once than I ever have before. In the midst of all these changes, I have felt my heart break, have felt stuck and lost. 2020 broke me in more ways I knew were possible, yet it also gave me more than I could expect. This year, I learned that deep grief and joy can still co-exist, they are not mutually exclusive. I don't think I'm ready to openly share about the most intense grief I have ever experienced. My heart is still in the process of being healed. But someday, I hope to share all the ways that grief has stolen from me and all it has taught me about the beauty of love. I am not there yet and that is okay. But, I did want to come back on here to write again. Even if I am the only person who comes back to read this blog, that is enough. This blog has become a documentation of my thoughts and experiences over the past few years and I love being able to come back and see how I've grown. I hope to keep writing on here throughout the year and maybe I'll share more about teaching and my experience in this pandemic.
Talk soon, Shana Shaye
