I never thought my life would come to this moment. Standing at the edge of everything I’ve known, peering into the unknown, it’s terrifying. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. There was a plan, a vision of how things should have been. But plans crumble, visions blur, and reality… reality hits you like a storm you can’t outrun.

I used to be someone people admired. Successful, confident, always in control. Now, I’m just trying to keep my head above water. Every day brings a new challenge, a new setback. And the misfortunes? They’re relentless. They chip away at your spirit until you feel like there’s nothing left.

But here’s the thing about hitting rock bottom: there’s nowhere to go but up. Change is inevitable, even when it’s painful. It forces you to confront truths you’ve been avoiding, to let go of things you thought you needed. It’s brutal, and it’s raw, but it’s also a chance to start over. To redefine who you are and what you want.

So, here I am, on the brink of something new. Scared, yes. But also… hopeful. Because in this moment of despair, there’s a spark of possibility. A chance to rise from the ashes stronger, wiser. Life may have beaten me down, but it hasn’t broken me. Not yet. And maybe, just maybe, that’s enough to keep going.
