Excitement

This yellow measuring ribbon is in my bag for more than two years now but I still can't believe it. I always thought I wasn’t brave enough but in reality- I was. I am. Hoping I will forever have that excitement. From every step, every milestone, every purchase. At the end of the day, this is why I am doing it for.

Think again

I said I wouldn't start anything else before I know I am on the right track. But I did. This is not me trying to prove something to someone, nor thinking it's a good idea to do it at the moment. But, it's bigger than me. I am not sure you will ever see it, but when I look at it I know I learned something I always wanted.

"Sounds better"

I no longer compare. Not to the old "me" nor my older status. Society may think it's better to work in a big company, but I chose this risk-taking road. For a very long time, I used to compare. Thinking what "sounds" better is better. Now I know titles don’t define me. It's the other way around.

Dear grandmother

I am watching her, through the kitchen window. She is lighting candles, praying for god. She had a hard life and yet, she never says "why me?". She is thankful, praying for her loved ones from the bottom of her heart. You could tell by the look on her face, by her facial expressions, she's grateful. With no questions asked. My hero.

In the meantime, I am imagining you ladies, sewing my dreams.

And I wouldn't want it any other way

It's madness. Every time I wake up in the morning, I can't believe I am actually doing it. That this is my life. The endless tasks and changes, the uncertainty, the doubt, and fear. The un-predicted future and overwhelming routine. I was born for it. And I wouldn't want it any other way. Lucky me.

Journey

On this special day I think about you. The people who made me smile when I had tears in my eyes. Who believed in me from day one and became my "team" in this lonely journey. And to so many people who without even knowing my name reached out with pure generosity looking to help. I know I am here because of you. Forever grateful.
