Miriam McDonald Instagram – This morning I woke up with a deep sense of relief. Like I’d just stepped out of a surreal time capsule. These past couple of weeks have been a mix of joy, nostalgia, and vulnerability. Seeing familiar faces, reliving both beautiful and difficult memories, and watching pieces of my former life unfold on a big screen was equal parts healing and terrifying.
What I feel most grateful for is the life I’ve built now. A private, peaceful one that I cherish wholeheartedly, away from the cameras and spotlight. Degrassi and everything that came with it lives in a treasured little vault inside me. I can revisit it when the time feels right, and just as easily close it when I need to.
People have been asking me what I hope fans take away from the documentary, and the answer is simple: I hope you see that, just like many of you, we were kids trying our best to navigate challenges, confusion, and growing pains, while longing for guidance ourselves. Your devotion and love for the show have meant the world, and while there were countless incredible moments, there were also struggles. Both truths can exist side by side.
For me, this documentary feels like the final encore of my Degrassi chapter, a chance to reconcile, reflect, and formally close a door that once just slowly faded. And with that, I return with relief, gratitude, and excitement to the private life I love so deeply.
Thank you to everyone who has cared, listened, and walked with me on this journey. I wish you peace, love, health, and happiness always. And please, be gentle with yourselves and with others 💜 | Posted on 14/Sep/2025 17:24:24
