Daring to Live Differently

There came a point when I realized I wasn’t living—I was performing. Following a script passed down by generations, shaped by fear, survival, and expectations. But my soul wanted more.

I started questioning everything:

What if security isn’t the same as safety?

What if comfort is just another word for control?

What if the life I was conditioned for was never mine to begin with?

So I let go.

Of timelines. Of approval. Of quiet suffering.

And I started choosing me—loudly, intuitively, and unapologetically.

This isn’t the easy path. But it’s mine.

And every day I walk it, I come closer to the truth of who I am.

Not who I was told to be. Not who I needed to be to survive.

But who I came here to become.

On my terms

I’ve always loved learning.  I remember 1986, when I got my first computer.  It was a Commadore 64.  I would game night after night into the wee hours of the morning.  I wasn’t that good at any of the games I was playing.  I was more interested in how the computer itself worked.  Over the years, I piled up a few broken machines.  I took one of them apart to see what was inside it.
