    There’s a quiet shift that happens when you’re the firstborn… You go from being just the oldest sibling to becoming the anchor. Especially when the mother is no longer there, and the father remains—you begin to feel it. The weight. Not material, not financial, but something deeper. A responsibility of presence, of wisdom, of keeping…

  • You’re not imagining it. You’re just the only one brave enough to say it.

    I didn’t grow up around bullying, so I never really understood it—until I experienced it in the workplace.And not just subtle stuff.

You’re allowed to feel what you feel. Your emotions are valid. You don’t have to minimize your pain just to protect someone else’s innocence. Even unintentional wounds…
