My story begins with a small idea — a spark, a flicker, a thought that emerges like a star appearing in the night sky, a moment that brushes past me like a gentle breeze. A spark that sets everything in motion. Sometimes, it’s a whisper calling me to try something new. Other times, it’s a jolt, a shift that turns everything upside down.

I write my story with every step I take; with the choices I make and the dreams I hold onto. After all, it’s the journey of my own choices. At times, I lose myself in thought, wandering through my own world. But it’s in those moments — in the unknown and the unexpected — that I stumble upon the most remarkable discoveries.

My story begins with a question: Do I dare to try something new, to walk an unfamiliar path without knowing exactly where it leads? It’s that question that sets everything in motion. Do I allow myself — do I allow others — to experiment, to make mistakes, to learn from every unexpected turn along the way? As I write, I realize the answer doesn’t lie in where I end up, but in what I learn and experience on the journey itself.
