The Day Mom Let Go
Growing up, my mother was always there. Not just in the physical sense—making meals, cleaning the house, helping with homework—but emotionally too.

The Day I Spoke to My Younger Self
It didn’t start with a dream. It wasn’t a vision, or a letter, or some magical moment. It was just a quiet afternoon — the kind where the world feels slower, softer, and still. The kind where you finally have time to hear your own thoughts.

How a Solo Trip Helped Me Find Myself
I used to think being alone was something to avoid. Whether it was hanging out with friends, staying busy with work, or scrolling endlessly through my phone, I always found a way to fill the silence. I told myself I liked being social, but the truth was simpler and harder to admit: I was afraid of being alone with my own thoughts.

5 Things I Let Go Of to Finally Feel Free
There was a time when I felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders. Not because of work or money or any one big thing. But because of all the small things I held onto — the fear, the pressure, the past, and the opinions of others. It was heavy, even if I couldn’t see it. I smiled through it, I showed up every day, but deep down, I was exhausted.
