Life is like chess, with no regrets in placing pieces. I often reflect during sleepless nights on the paths I've taken and the choices I've made. There are moments when I feel I've made mistakes and taken many wrong turns, but all of it becomes my precious experience. Every person and event gives me experiences that are either gained or learned, and I am very grateful for everything life has brought me, even in moments of panic. I also firmly believe that there are no wasted paths in life. Perhaps growth is not about anxious self-doubt, but rather about calm self-acceptance.
