I’ve been away for a while, and I wanted to take a moment to explain to everyone who reached out, wondered where I was, or asked about me. I lost someone very dear to me. I’m living through that pain. Sometimes, there are things a person cannot put into words, cannot share with anyone, and must simply carry within themselves—and right now, that’s exactly where I am. In the rush of life, we often get swept up in everything: work, future plans, money, the market, gains, losses—we chase after all of it. But then one day, life reminds you in such a way that you realize nothing matters as much as it once did. Some losses cannot be made up for. Some people’s places can never be filled. And some pains, even with time, continue to live inside us. For the past few days, I’ve been trying to carve out some time for myself, to accept what’s happened, and to begin to heal. That’s why I haven’t been here, why I haven’t posted or been as active as before. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who wondered about me, messaged me, or asked if I was okay. It might still be too soon to say I’m fine—but I’m trying to put myself back together. I need a little more time. I want to remind all of you once again: cherish those you love. Don’t delay making that call, sending that message, or asking how someone is doing. Sometimes, what we put off until tomorrow may never have a tomorrow. I needed some time alone with myself. Thank you to everyone who showed understanding, cared, and stayed by my side with your kind messages. Take care of yourselves and those you love. Nothing in life is more precious than the presence of the people you care about.
