Today marks two years since I made the biggest — and scariest — decision of my life. I left a life I genuinely loved, packed sixteen years into six balikbayan boxes, and with my newborn daughter, moved to a city where I barely knew anyone… and into a home with a family I had only just met.
What a roller coaster it’s been. I’m still learning to love this place, still trying to find my feet. But to everyone who has walked with me through the big move, through motherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship — you have no idea how much you mean to me, how deeply you’ve saved me. Thank you. I’ll never forget the hands that held me on my darkest days.
And to those who kicked me while I was down — good riddance. If you’re still lingering in my life now, I can promise you won’t be in 2026… so you have exactly 28 days to make it up to me. :)
