The last two weeks

have been different.


I experienced

Freedom where there once was weight.

Momentum where there once was fog.

Productivity flowing like breath,

as if life was just waiting

for me to claim it back.


I’ve seen what it means

to be erased from someone else’s story—

but I don’t erase.


I carry everything forward,

turning fractures into fire,

and fire into light.


There have been conversations

that reached my marrow,

encounters that carried spark

and unexpected curiosity,

an evening that reminded me

how deeply I can meet another soul,

And still be me.


And there have been circles of people

where I stood rooted,

listened deeply,

and did my best to show others

how valuable they truly are.


The last two weeks are proof—

I am different.

Yet deeply the same.


This isn’t just recovery.

It’s a reawakening.

And a rebirth.


The start of beautiful & intentional possibility.
