I was taught that love was self sacrifice.

I am learning that I can be strong and soft at the same time. That I can hold space for others without hollowing myself out. That my worth is not measured by how much I carry but by how fully I live.

What I learned from never staying still

What happens when excellence threatens the status quo

The gift and burden of being needed

You don’t need to erase your past to create your future.

Some of the most meaningful work is not meant to last forever.

Clarity is costly, but it is also freeing.

Beauty that lasts is built on what lies beneath.

Every space you’ve lived in shapes the way you build your life.

The fire may destroy, but not everything can be taken.

You don’t need a blank slate to build the life you want.
