As a journalist, it is so easy to get hardened when you see so many stories that are disturbing. Sometimes it's just your survival mechanism that makes you hardened to some of it. ↗

But for the first time in many years, I get to sleep in my own bed every night. I haven't done that, literally, in years. It seems like such a small thing, but it is so nice. ↗

Finally, I get to have houseplants and they stay alive. ↗

I didn't want my parents to support me. I wanted to prove that I could do it by myself. ↗

I think I'd like to stay anchoring because, number one, I'm learning a lot, and I love it when I'm learning. And number two, I also have the luxury of a stable life. ↗

So now my road map has changed and I don't have a really clear idea of what the next stops are. ↗

Sometimes stories are inherently important whether or not they have a direct relation to your life. ↗

What upset me the most was not that I would die, but that I was letting down my parents. I felt very guilty for chasing this dream career of mine, at the expense of my parents. ↗
