The Best in Us
Few experiences in life genuinely move me. I use the term “move” in the deep emotional or spiritual sense where one is overcome by emotion.

Why Vulnerability is My Greatest Strength — Healing Through Honest Connection
I used to think that strength meant keeping everything inside. That if I never let anyone see me cry, break, or struggle, I would somehow appear stronger. For years, I wore a mask—smiling when I wanted to scream, nodding when I wanted to collapse, and pretending everything was “fine” when, deep down, I was drowning.
