"At 36, I've decided to share a bit of my story."

Since I was a child, I had a lot of energy, but my insecurities and fears often held me back. At several points, I faced a deep sadness that came and took a long time to leave, what doctors call depression. However, this experience taught me something important: self-knowledge is fundamental. Over time, I have worked on accepting my vulnerabilities and using them as a springboard to grow.

When I was younger, I didn't dare to ask questions out of shame, but I realized that each of us has something to teach and not just to learn. Connecting with others showed me that many of the experiences I thought were only mine are actually shared by many others. This learning has kept me strong in difficult times.

Talking about our experiences can be healing. By sharing, our burdens lighten a bit. Sometimes, we just need someone to listen to us to feel better. Sharing our story is a brave and vulnerable act. By doing so, I take the reins of my life instead of letting it control me.

Through this blog, I hope to connect with people who share my interests and values, as well as learn from those who have different visions. I firmly believe in the power of community and collaboration.

My story is unique, like yours. And that is what makes them valuable. I won't deny that opening up makes me very afraid, but I am determined to take the risk.
