Learning to ask for what I want has been one of the most vulnerable lessons of my life. This is a reflection on support, receiving, independence, and the quiet strength of letting people show up for you.

Love is like an open hand holding Play Dough—it can take any shape and knows no limits. When we let love flow freely, it grows and spreads, but when we try to control or restrict it, it seeps out in ways we never intended. Love endures beyond relationships and even life, reminding us that true love knows no boundaries.
