Just posted a new piece on medium. This one’s personal. Raw. Heavier than most.

I wrote about what it means to survive school — not just the grades or the pressure, but the emotional toll no one really talks about. About betrayal, depression, pretending you're okay just so others don’t feel uncomfortable. About wearing a mask until it becomes your second skin.

But also? About the relief of making it out. About the complicated freedom that comes after. And what survival looks like when healing still feels far away.

If you’ve ever felt like you were holding it all together with shaking hands — this one’s for you.
