For most of my life, rest always felt conditional. I could only fully relax after: The problem is, adulthood never truly runs out of things to do. There’s always another task waiting. Another responsibility. Another reason to keep pushing yourself a little harder. So for years, I stayed trapped in…

Honestly? Life still feels overwhelming sometimes. There are still busy days. Still emotional overload. Still moments where my thoughts feel too loud and my responsibilities feel heavier than usual. But lately, one thing has remained surprisingly stable:my exercise routine. And honestly? I never expected movement to become this emotionally important…

If there’s one thing living with diabetes has taught me over the years, it’s this: The body will eventually force you to listen if you ignore it for too long. And honestly? I think I spent many years disconnected from my body completely. I normalized: because I thought adulthood simply…
