to anyone feeling lonely | birthday journal entry

Today’s Journal Entry:
In today's video, I open up about the phases of loneliness I've experienced in life and the transformative power of being alone. For my 27th birthday, I intentionally went on a solo trip to Montreal—choosing solitude to reconnect with myself. Join me as I share reflections on periods with fewer friends, the importance of self-travel, and how spending time alone can lead to self-growth.
