Unlearn and Relearn
There are moments in life when we look back and realize that a different choice, a single action taken at the right time could have changed everything.

Its always been You v/s You
The last thing I learned is that most battles in life are actually between me and myself.

The Quiet Weight of Regret
If I’m being honest there are many moments in my life I wish I could return to not to change the outcome but to be kinder to myself. I grew up learning how to shrink. I learned to stay quiet to adjust and to soften my truth so it wouldn’t make others uncomfortable. A lot…

Between What Was and What Could Be
If I’m being honest, I don’t live in the past but there are rare moments when it quietly pulls me back. Sometimes I find myself replaying certain decisions I made. Moments where I think, I could have handled that better. Times when I wish I had responded differently, spoken more confidently or stood up for…
