How Grief Became My Greatest Teacher
I never really understood grief until it showed up on my doorstep wearing the face of my mother’s absence. She passed away on an ordinary Tuesday. No storm, no thunder, no dramatic Hollywood goodbye. Just a quiet phone call in the middle of my workday that changed my entire world.

The Empty Chair at Dinner
Dinner at our house was always a ritual. Not fancy, not Pinterest-perfect, but full of clatter, conversation, and the familiar rhythm of togetherness.

The Day I Stopped Chasing Perfection
I don’t remember the exact moment I first started chasing perfection. Maybe it was in third grade, when I got a silver star instead of gold on my spelling test and cried in the car. Or maybe it was in high school, when my friends laughed at how obsessed I was with getting the “perfect” GPA. Somewhere along the way, I equated self-worth with flawlessness.

When I Stopped Competing, I Started Living
There was a time in my life when every moment felt like a scoreboard ticking against me. From the outside, I looked like someone on the rise. I graduated top of my class, earned a spot in a prestigious internship program, and even had a tidy list of accolades to flaunt on social media. But what no one saw—what I barely admitted to myself—was how much of my life had become a constant comparison, a never-ending chase to be the best.
