Here’s to shifting from only consuming knowledge to actively engaging with life, letting creativity unfold naturally rather than forcing an outcome. Instead of feeling pressured to teach or structure what I’ve learned, I’m simply documenting my process and responding to what excites me. This shift feels deeply personal—honoring my ancestors, embracing embodied movement, and recognizing that true healing comes from doing, not just understanding.

Embracing the process, letting it be imperfect, taking my time, leaning into me, feeling my way through, and thoroughly enjoying every single bit of it - this is Living in Response, a project in being, the act of living.
