And I do believe it's true/ that there are roads left in both our shoes

"when we write fully and honestly, when we speak from who we are, mortal human being to mortal human being, it comes down to this - that we sustain each other with musics and dreams of motion, that we say who we are, that we reach out to the friend that is beyond us, out of sight - and this is perhaps defiant in the deepest possible way and is perhaps a type of love and is certainly very much alive and - I think it bears repeating - beautiful."
-Last Words of the Executed, edited by Robert K Elder (taken from a guardian article)

I just want to say that I hope that I will never forget this. That I will never cease to marvel at and treasure the genuine and magical interactions between human beings, between people, whether it's recorded in books, in songs, in movies, or in real relationships with other people. I hope that I will never stop reading, even when work piles up and I have to read case after case.

I hope I will always enjoy music and discovering new songs
I hope I will make time for my friends, old and new, and that I will always always be genuine and faithful.
I hope I will always love God.

At the end of JC I said that my greatest takeaway from my two years in College was Friends, Books, and Music: these three things have carried me through my time in NS, and continue to sustain me; I hope not to let them down in the four years ahead. Even the law, itself, is fundamentally about humans and people and how we relate to one another.
