Welcome.
This space holds the parts of life that were too heavy, too quiet or too confusing to face when I was young.
I grew up in a world where love had to be earned and survival came before identity.
There was no room to feel or rest or simply exist without proving my worth.

I moved into adulthood still surviving.
Still performing.
Still carrying the belief that being needed was safer than being known.

Then my body slowed everything down.
Illness stripped away the speed I relied on and left me sitting with truths I had avoided for years.
In the quiet that followed I began to meet the self I never had the chance to become.

This blog is where I write from that place.
Not from survival.
But from the slow, uncertain, honest unfolding of who I am beyond it.

If any part of this echoes your own story, you are welcome here.
Take your time.
Move gently.
You do not have to earn your place.
