The question that always lingers in my mind is how should I live my life? It comes up often, and when I sit with it too long, it can turn into anxiety. There are so many big questions tied to it. Why are we here? Why am I here? What is my purpose? How am I supposed to live my life? The thing is, if I spent all my time thinking about those questions, I would never be fully present. Over time, I have learned to take things one day at a time and to lean into mindfulness instead. We will never have all the answers, and maybe that is the point. Still, the question lingers, and it continues to make me think.

Music is at the center of everything I do. Whether I’m creating playlists, discovering new artists, or singing along in the crowd, you can usually find me at a concert (over 100 and counting!) or with headphones on, exploring sounds across every genre.
