					<description><![CDATA[I am no longer trying to become something. I am trying to be correctly placed. For a long time, I thought stability came from understanding everything.

					<description><![CDATA[Every Ramadan, the language of “seek forgiveness” returns. Repent. Look back. Repair the past. For many, that is necessary. It addresses guilt, regret, unresolved harm. This is not the state I am entering with. I am not carrying resentment. I am not avoiding apology. Where repair was needed, I have made it. Where forgiveness was [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am not the hero. Not the villain. Not the victim. Not the survivor. I have been each of them, just in different stories. In someone else’s telling,I was the villain. I accept that. Not every story ends in redemption. Not every mistake earns forgiveness. Life is not clean. It blurs at the edges. I [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When there were no mentors, no guidance, no emotional support, learning did not stop. It became survival. Pressure replaced instruction.Consequence replaced advice.Survival replaced philosophy. I did not seek growth. I adapted. The years that looked like wandering were forced education. Instability taught me capacity.Loneliness taught me boundaries.Collapse taught me structure. I was writing long before [&#8230;]]]></description>
