While I was doing all of this, the world outside didn’t pause. It sped up. New ideas, new tools, new conversations. AI became a thing. Entire industries shifted. And I didn’t even see it happen.
I didn’t say it out loud, but I carried this quiet belief with me: I’ve fallen behind because I chose this life. What I couldn’t see then was this: I wasn’t falling behind. I was just measuring growth in a language the world doesn’t value openly.
