The People We Become When No One Is Watching. AI-Generated.
There are parts of our lives that never make it into conversations, journals, or social media posts. They happen quietly, in the background, in the spaces where no one is paying attention. These are the moments that shape us the most, yet they rarely get acknowledged. They’re not dramatic enough to be called breakthroughs, and not painful enough to be called rock bottoms. They’re simply the private, unfiltered pieces of our becoming.

St. Patrick's Day
When I was a child, I really thought our family was Irish. We always celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a chocolate cake with green frosting, and it was pretty common to wear green and to have corned beef, cabbage, and boiled potatoes for dinner that day.
