Dear Berlin,
Thank you for an unforgettable year, the best
of many great ones now. You taught me to quaff life and imbibe drink, and to dance
with awkward abandon. From your dapprest professor to your nightly chorus of
harlequin punks, you have taught me through such diversity to appreciate the
beauty of God’s ultimate creation. You have blessed me with friendship, love,
perspective, prosperity and more. I leave none of them behind me, only 20lbs, a
bit of hair, and the barriers you gave me to overcome. I hope in some way, among
the cacophony of others pasted and painted upon you, that I’ve left a small mark
as well, if only as a token of thanks for how the Almighty has doted upon me
through you, O arm aber sexy Berlin. Bis zum nächsten mal.
Your biggest fan,
Justin
