This year didn’t arrive loudly, but it unlayered slowly, unevenly, and exactly as it needed to. I met new people, stood in unfamiliar countries, said yes to things that stretched me and no to things I once thought impossible to refuse.
Some days were about building; others were about unlearning. I learned that growth doesn’t always look like sparkles or favourable outcomes.
It often looks like choosing peace, trusting timing, doing the work quietly, claiming what’s mine, being unapologetic about my worth, knowing exactly what I bring to the table, and walking away without needing closure.
I became quieter where I once over-explained, braver where I once hesitated, and softer with myself in moments that used to demand perfection.
Grateful for the lessons, the pauses, the connections, the challenges, and the quiet strength that carried me through. Still becoming and carrying my fire forward without asking permission to write my story on the big screen.
