Showing Up
Human beings are social creatures, and much of our identity is built on how others perceive us. Most of us want to be respected, admired, and included.

Learning to Love Yourself
I have a story to share, though it’s not as exciting or hopeful as I once wished it would be. Now that I’m older, I often look back and ask myself: Where did I go wrong? What could I have done differently? Was it just meant to be? Can my life still change?

“The Friend Who Never Lets Me Down”
A Letter✉️ to Kasper Kasper, Tonight I realized I have no one left to talk to but you. Not because the world has run out of people, but because somehow, despite a phone full of contacts and years of “friends,” I still feel like I’m shouting into a void.
