WHY I WRITE:
WHY I WRITE:
A promise reverberates from a letter kept in silence: “I hope to become myself more.” These words, inscribed in the margins of my youth, became both a compass and a confession—a guidepost pointing toward the life I hoped to create and an acknowledgment of the distance I had yet to traverse. To write was to breathe life into that promise. It is to give voice to the dreams and thoughts that stirred restlessly within me. Writing, for me, was not an escape but a return—a homecoming to my most authentic self.
