A year after walking away from my corporate job without a plan B, I’ve travelled, volunteered, and grown in ways I never expected—yet the hardest part hasn’t been the leap itself, but learning to navigate the uncertainty that follows. This is my honest reflection on self-worth, societal pressure, and trusting the unknown.

We spend so much time fearing mistakes—overthinking decisions, worrying about whether we’ve chosen the right path. But what if getting things wrong is just part of the process? What if mistakes aren’t setbacks, but stepping stones? The truth is, we’re not meant to navigate life perfectly. We’re meant to learn, to evolve, and to embrace the beauty of imperfection.
