Hi there, have you ever felt like you’ve lost a part of yourself along the way in life? Trapped by the monotony of work, family, and social events, it’s easy to let go of the essence that makes us who we are. That’s how I’ve been feeling lately.

It’s been a few years since I last wrote, and I doubt anyone has noticed. But writing was once a source of solace for me, a way to reflect on my experiences and share my thoughts on topics that could help us all grow as human beings. What I never shared was that writing was instrumental in helping me overcome depression back in 2018. Soon, I’ll share that story with you.

Thankfully, I’ve overcome many challenges since then, but I fell into the trap of daily worries and the pursuit of a successful career. I filled my weekends with parties in a desperate attempt to validate my existence, and the pressure took over. My passion for writing was buried.

I can’t make any promises, but every once in a while, I plan to share my reflections on the world and my journey to become a better person, living with purpose and making a difference in the lives of those around me.

The journey to self-discovery is not a destination, but a lifelong process of growth, reflection, and transformation, Let’s break free from the Rut and make our own version of that personal tale of overcoming adversity and living with purpose.

May the force be with you, cheers!
