30 years have gone by. If youβre reading this and feel like nothing fully makes sense right now, I know that feeling. When the things that once gave your life purpose stop working, when what defined you starts to fall apart and youβre left sitting in hopelessness and darkness. Some people call this the dark night of the soul. Itβs the part of the journey where clarity disappears before something deeper can take its place. Itβs uncomfortable, itβs quiet, and it doesnβt look impressive from the outside. But it isnβt failure, it isnβt being behind, and it isnβt something to rush through. Turning 30 feels less like an arrival and more like a crossing, leaving one version of myself behind without fully knowing what comes next. This next chapter is a story Iβve been living for a long time, and Iβm finally ready to share it. I hope it helps you make sense of what youβve been through, or gives you something to hold onto if youβre still in it. I love you and Iβm honored to share this journey with you.
