Welcome to Stories I Carry

This space is exactly what the name suggests — a collection of stories I’ve gathered along the way. I’ve always believed that life doesn’t arrive in big lessons or perfect timelines. It shows up in small, ordinary moments that somehow leave a mark. A school friendship. A year in a new city. A conversation that changes how you see things. Growing older and realizing you’re still becoming. These are the stories I want to hold space for here.

If something here reminds you of your own life, your own people, or your own moments — you’re already part of the story. And if you feel like sharing, I’d love to hear what you carry too.
