“It’s Just a Cold”
A cold is supposed to be ordinary. It is supposed to be inconvenient, uncomfortable, and temporary. It arrives, disrupts life briefly, and then disappears without consequence. It exists as a shared experience, something almost everyone understands and moves through without fear.

Visibility, Timing, and Readiness
Visibility is often treated as a reward, something earned through talent, effort, or persistence. It is framed as the natural next step once someone has something worthwhile to offer. But visibility is not neutral, and it is not automatically benevolent. Being seen amplifies everything at once: strengths, weaknesses, unfinished edges, unresolved wounds, and untested convictions. Once that amplification begins, there is no way to selectively mute what is not ready.

Although it's hard to stay on the healing path sometimes, it's all worth it and was supposed to happen. I have learned new things about myself that I love while also having to face things about myself that made me uncomfortable at first. Some of the past things I did, I started to see how they were not actually good or ok. You start to observe things from a different perspective and learn to respond instead of react. The pain you experience forces you to grow in ways comfort never could. You begin to see things that were right in front of your eyes the whole time, both good and bad.
