It’s Dr. Netskar! So proud of him. The past five years, and especially these last weeks, have taken so much strength and sacrifice. His resilience and humility inspire me every day. What a journey, honored to have witnessed it all. ✨🙌🏽

Two months ago, running felt impossible. Now I’m trying to make 5Ks part of my routine.

Being away for the birthdays of loved ones is really tough. It gets to me even more when it’s my grandparents, because I have so much to be thankful for when it comes to them. I wish I could be there for every celebration and special moment, especially now that they’re getting older.

May was a rollercoaster with lots of highs and lows. I’m really grateful to have a partner who’s there for me no matter what. I’m not perfect, but he reminds me I don’t have to be and that he’s proud of me. That means everything. It keeps me going.

I almost didn’t go to the ceremony. It felt like just a formality, and to be honest, I’ve been feeling weird about it. There’s a quiet guilt in feeling less connected to my home country while becoming more rooted here, but I’m glad I did.

This year, I’m focusing on quality over quantity: buying smarter, traveling slower, eating healthier, sleeping deeper, and making the most of every hour.
Or at least I will try 😅

I got some great news recently, and I wish my dad were here so I could share this with him. He would have been so happy, and it feels odd not having him around to celebrate it with me.

I’ve realized I’m at the age where Christmas parties, gifts and wishlists don’t feel exciting anymore. What I’m looking forward to now are quiet, slow days as the year winds down. There’s a bittersweetness to it too, knowing that some of the people who made this season special aren’t here anymore.
