Today I started a new course that’s tied to my career goals. I’m excited… but honestly also terrified about whether I can actually get through it.
          	
          	Am I too late to be doing this? Or is this just me finally stepping out of my bubble and into the real world—where I risk losing myself, my thoughts, my characters, my little scenarios?
          	
          	Or.... maybe I’m right where I need to be....
          	
          	Maybe I can keep my bubble side—the part of me that writes “what ifs,” love stories, and darker pulls—while still figuring out the whole work-girly life.
          	
          	I guess we’ll see

I just uploaded the first chapter of my new short story, "He Waited Anyway," and I want to say thank you for being here and reading,  truly.
          
          This story came from a quiet, aching place in my heart — a time when hope felt like something I had to squint to see.
          
          I didn’t feel strong, and I didn’t feel like myself. 
          
          But Ji-Ho… Ji-Ho reminded me what it means to be loved, seen, and remembered — even in silence.
          
          This isn’t just a story, it’s a piece of me I’ve been afraid to share. And if you’ve ever felt like you were drowning in stillness or holding grief, you couldn't name... this one’s for you.
          
          Thank you for reading. I hope you feel less alone here.
          
          Love,
