Forever There, Ours. Honorable Mention in Small Win Challenge.
“You’ve both had a few good days.” One sentence that held so much. Holds so much it halts you, in that moment with it all. And then you take it with you.

Guide Me Back - Forever There
“You’ve both had a few good days.” One sentence that held so much. One of those that holds so much it halts you, in that moment with it all. And even when you do move, even if not yet to respond but to take it with you.

Reaching Out
Today, April 17th, is the anniversary of my dad's death. This thought of him going gives me uneasiness at times and peace at others. I tend to play the song "To Where You Are," by Josh Groban on repeat. I let tears fall out and reflect.

One Word at a Time
Writing a story sounds so easy in theory. Words form sentences. Sentences form paragraphs and those paragraphs turn into pages. Before you know it, you've written 10,000 words.

I Tried 5 Online Hustles With No Money — Only One Paid Me
I’m going to be real with you. Most of the online money advice is either exaggerated or completely out of touch with reality. When you’re starting with no money, no audience, and no connections, you don't have the luxury to just test everything. You need something that works and fast. So I set a challenge for myself: Try multiple hustles and stick with the one that actually makes money. What happened next was not what I expected. The First Hustle: Dropshipping This is where most people start. It seems easy: Find a product, build a store, run ads, and make money. Except… I had no money for ads, so I tried organic marketing instead. I posted content; I copied trends; I watched tutorials—nothing happened! No sales, no traction—just views that went nowhere. That was lesson number one for me: Views don’t equal money.

The Blue Sock Victory
The alarm clock is a tiny, plastic dictator screaming from the bedside table. It is 7:00 AM, a time of day that feels like a slap. For weeks, the act of existing has felt like trying to walk through a waist deep swamp while carrying a backpack full of wet concrete. Depression is a big, mangy dog that sits on your stomach the moment you wake up, preventing you from drawing a full breath.

Just Fifteen Minutes. Runner-Up in Small Win Challenge.
A little over a year ago, sick of trying and failing to maintain the 'ideal writing routine', I gave myself a daily goal so easy I'd have to try harder to fail than to succeed at it. Write for 15 minutes every day.

You Looked Me in the Eyes
You looked me in the eyes. Directly into my eyes. It was a fraction of a second, but it was enough to show that your eyes were smiling.

“They Smiled at My Dreams… But Secretly Wanted Me to Fail”
“They all smiled when I told them my dream… but their eyes were already laughing at me.” I didn’t understand it back then—but that moment changed my life forever.

A Small Question That Changed Everything . AI-Generated.
Most days in digital marketing feel defined by numbers. Click-through rates, impressions, conversions, cost per acquisition. Everything is tracked, measured, and optimized. Wins are usually clear and visible, sitting neatly inside dashboards and reports.
