But the more I read, the emptier it felt. I ran my hand across the pages, smooth, cool, carefully prepared, but empty. No grit, no voice, no surprise. Another polished assignment. Another quiet check mark. ...

Audience, visualize with me a vibrant red circle, so big, so bold, and unafraid. It symbolizes every child's spirit, determination, curiosity, and the readiness to embrace the world without limits. They'll climb trees, splash in puddles, and even build castles out of thin air.All without worrying about judgment and letting their imagination roam freely. However, as we grow older, our perspectives change. That big bold red circuit, it begins to shrink and shrink and shrink.Not because it's broken, but becaus ...

Before anything, I would like you to just imagine one day you dropped into a country where there's nothing felt familiar. The environment, the sign, the sound, the song, the food, and the hardest one is the language that sounds like something from out of the space that you have never heard before. People smile, but you don't even know what they're talking about.asking you a question or saying something else. Meanwhile, there's nothing that's your comfort zone anymore.
