The Power of Stories: Rewriting Our Lives

Growing up, my mother would often tell me bedtime stories. Tales of heroes and adventures, of triumphs and failures, each story held a lesson. As I grew older, I realized that these stories weren't just for entertainment—they were a way to make sense of the world. Each narrative was a lens through which I viewed my experiences, shaping my beliefs and my reality. Life, as it turns out, is a series of stories. The narratives we craft about our experiences shape our perceptions and, ultimately, our reality. It's fascinating how two people can …

Cherishing Time and Connections

As I've gotten older, I've come to understand the true value of time. How I spend it and who I spend it with has become increasingly important.

There's a significant opportunity cost in terms of what else I could be doing with that time and energy. I've learned that you don't need a vast number of relationships to feel fulfilled. Most people, myself included, find that having a handful of deep, meaningful connections is …

Why Facing Your Feelings Matters

Knowing you're not okay is one thing, but avoiding those feelings teaches your brain they're dangerous. When we avoid our feelings, our brain thinks there's a threat.

Memories and Moments

The hardest part in life, they say, Is when the one you love goes away. They gave me memories, pure and bright, But now they're gone, like a fading light. My parents and grandparents, strong and bold, Aging slowly, growing old. I saw the signs but chose to ignore, Until loss knocked on my heart's door. A loved one passed, I wasn't there, I thought I had time, but life isn't fair. Years slipped by, guilt took hold, A sorrow so deep, a story untold. Her absence left a scar so deep, It wakes me up from my sleep. But in that pain, a lesson …

The Preciousness of Time and Relationships

Losing people in your life can bring the preciousness of time into sharp focus. It becomes even more evident that life is short, and the people who really matter to you are the ones you want to invest in.

Uncharted Paths: Embracing New Hobbies and Rediscovering Myself

There’s something profoundly beautiful about discovering new facets of oneself, especially when those facets were once believed to be entirely out of reach. My journey through various hobbies in the post-pandemic world has not just expanded my repertoire of activities but has significantly altered my lifestyle and perception of self. Before this exploratory phase, I was the person who would fall asleep seven pages into a book, whose attempt at gardening resulted in the improbable death of an aloe vera plant—known for its hardiness even in …
