The Decision
So for the first time in ten years…
I stepped away.
And honestly…
that decision terrified me.
I was scared of disappointing people.
Scared of being judged.
Scared people would think I was throwing everything away after spending years building it.
What was supposed to be a short break...
slowly turned into months.
Then eventually…
a year.
At a certain point…
I realized I couldn’t keep living out of a suitcase anymore.
I needed something to hold onto.
Then out of nowhere…
an opportunity came up.
And right there…
everything clicked.
That was the anchor I needed.
Not just visits.
Not just temporary trips.
Something real.
Something permanent.
But making that decision wasn’t easy.
Because deep down…
I knew most people wouldn’t understand it.
From the outside,
it probably didn’t make sense.
But this wasn’t about logic.
This was about a promise.
So I stayed
A whole year.
No social media.
No distractions.
Just being present…
Study Sessions
Basketball Practice
Weekend sleepovers
Small moments...
that slowly became everything.
Late-night conversations that reminded me how much kids pay attention…
even when you think they don’t.
And somewhere in between all of this
I realized that I was healing too.
