We often use social media to share our wins — milestones, celebrations, and the highlights of our lives. But rarely do we open up about the struggles: the quiet battles, the moments of doubt, and the times we’re forced to confront pain, loss, or fear.
I chose to write about my health not to seek sympathy, but to create space for honesty. This chapter of my life has been difficult, and I believe it’s important to talk about the parts we tend to hide. Struggles shape us just as much—if not more—than our successes. They invite us to pause, reflect, and understand how we got here.
I also wanted to share the tools and sources of inspiration that have helped me navigate this period of self-reflection. Whether it’s journaling, reading, or simply talking to someone, I believe reflection is essential for healing and clarity.
To those who reached out after reading my post — messaged, called, or simply checked in — THANK YOU!. Your kindness reminded me that I’m not alone in this. I feel incredibly fortunate to have people like you in my life.
More reflections to come!!
