Wow, it’s already 2025. So many things have happened over the past year and into this one. Our family has moved (again!). The house I’m living in now is officially the 20th home I’ve lived in throughout my life.

There’s a feeling of joy—being able to “wander,” experiencing new things with every move. But there’s also a deep longing to root down and settle. Still, it’s like my feet start itching to move again after a few years in one place. It’s a strange feeling, kind of hard to explain. I thought it would stop once I hit 35. But apparently, it hasn’t. Still, I hope that one day our family will root somewhere—a place close to our loved ones, a place where my daughter can live safely and comfortably.
My daughter is now 8 years old. It’s been 8 years of us being parents to a child with special needs. It’s been incredible—and incredibly tough, haha. I just hope to always be given the strength, patience, and good health to keep walking this journey with her.

Just this morning, I read something that said as mothers, we often “get lost” in our daily routines, playing the roles that have been assigned to us. Sometimes, it makes us forget who we are and the dreams we once had as individuals. It reminded me of a thought that weighed on me last year. And so, this year, I’ve decided to return to photography, to create again—not necessarily doing something grand or important, just something that keeps my inner self alive, I guess.
And I think maybe writing on this blog again might help? We’ll see!
