/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.
/kəˈmjuːnɪti/ noun a group of people living in the same place and/or the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common. 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.

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.
