Upon crossing the threshold into adulting, life unfolded as a vast unknown, demanding the art of figuring it out. In the face of unforeseen challengesโrelationship intricacies, financial strains, housing uncertainties, and occupational hurdlesโthe journey became an uphill battle. Outwardly draped in a facade of happiness, inside, the struggle was profound. Amidst this crazy year, I decided to celebrate my strength by gifting myself flowers, a visual appreciation for persevering.
