When I Got Lost... and Found Myself Again
There was a time in my life when everything felt like noise. The relentless buzzing of alarms, the never-ending flood of notifications on my phone, the heavy expectations from my family, and the ever-growing list of responsibilities — all of it merged into a constant, exhausting hum that slowly drained the joy out of living.
