Most people wait for life to change.

I almost waited too long.

I felt alone in crowded rooms

Struggled to express emotion

Never quite fit in.

I believed others were the problem

That one day, life would change on its own.

My dissatisfaction was a sign:

something had to give.

Still, I spent years waiting

Then came a scare that opened my eyes:

Hell is meeting the person you could have become.

Change didn’t take much

Raising my hand in class

Calling instead of messaging

Putting myself out there

At first, it felt uncomfortable

Then it didn’t.

And each time I grew, I stepped out again—

because that’s where the growth lives.

Eventually, my idea of “hard” shifted.

I developed self-confidence, a growth mindset,

and a brighter outlook on life.

I went all in—

on experiences,

on relationships,

on my wellbeing.

And I felt it:

Happier. Energised. Curious.

Curious about what’s possible when you commit.

Now, I’m chasing my biggest challenge yet:

To run 500km (310 miles) in 10 days.

I’m raising money for Sarcoma UK,

who supported my mum—and many others—through diagnosis.

Join me:

Run. Donate. Or do something that pushes you.

Because the best things happen just outside your comfort zone.

Carpe Diem
