A quiet reflection on living with purpose and discerning why we’re here. I speak to how clarity doesn’t come from thinking alone, but through movement — through showing up, stumbling, and continuing anyway. Purpose isn’t found in perfect plans, but in the lived experience that strips away the nonessential and brings us closer to what’s real.
