I spent many years in the system. I wanted more time to support people, not more paperwork or bureaucratic language that made everything feel flat and distant. Now I want to share knowledge in a different way, by supporting people as they ask questions, face doubts, develop ideas, and grow through human connection, humility, and understanding. Even now. Especially now. Because we can still choose to be human. Because we need to be human. Please keep your fingers crossed for me, so I don't give up. I cannot keep waiting for perfection that never comes. I know it is a risk to step away from the system, but I want to build bridges through understanding, especially at a time when so many things seem to be closing rather than opening. There are still many stories worth telling to future generations. Your poems lift me up because you speak about what is difficult, but also what is beautiful. Not everything is lost. We need to keep going, one small step at a time.

Not a poem, just a personal note.
