Tadaima, I'm back.

I tried to write a blog around the time COVID hit.
Me, and a gajillion other people.

I stopped because things started feeling...gross. Again.

I was two years in a new city, in a new job and still holding onto a lot of guilt about closing my school. and uprooting my family for a new job, which I had been struggling with for some time.

Nothing had been really wrong with my school, but I was spread thin. I needed something more sustainable and started working with someone who positioned themselves as one who had all the answers.

But this person's road to making things better was tough and required an “influencer-style” presence. Visibility, consistency, personal branding. Things I wasn’t comfortable with to begin with.

When improvement didn’t happen — when things didn’t get better in the way the  “success” was framed — it was positioned as a personal failure. A lack of effort, a lack of alignment, a lack of commitment.

When I started writing in 2020, all those feelings came back.

If I wasn’t writing to attract an audience, if I wasn’t building a following, then there seemed to be no point.
​
So I stepped away.

But coming back to writing now - and hosting this website, it's not about influence.
It's about connection. 

This space is for sharing ideas, reflections, and teaching philosophies—quietly, honestly, without performance, and without the need for it to turn into anything else.
