Even on the nights when I&#8217;m exhausted, busy, or just lacking motivation, I still show up for it. I&#8217;ve simply learned the hard way that skipping it means a miserable tomorrow. Want to know what helps me wake up hydrated, glowy, and happy? Here&#8217;s how I end every night&#8212;</p><h4>A night shower/washing my hair every day</h4><p>Night showers win over morning showers every time. I love to do both on any days where time permits, but if I&#8217;m choosing one, it&#8217;s the one that takes off all of the day&#8217;s germs before getting into my nice, clean bed. Plus, it&#8217;s super relaxing to shower before bed. Part of my nightly shower is washing my hair. Yes, I was my hair every single day. I don&#8217;t feel clean unless I do, and I couldn&#8217;t imagine submerging myself in the shower without getting my hair wet. I feel like I&#8217;d just be cold? I actually have noticed my hair grows quicker and looks better when I wash it every day, and I don&#8217;t mind doing it, so it&#8217;s a must every night for me.</p><h4>Skincare routine</h4><p>My skincare routine is the most consistent thing in my life. I could get home super late or be half-asleep, and I will still be doing my skincare routine immediately after my shower. I enjoy my routine and find it really relaxing, so I don&#8217;t ever see it as a chore. While I believe skin is mostly genetic, I owe the remaining credit to being so consistent with my routine. </p><blockquote><p><em><strong>The Routine:</strong></em> I wash my face in the shower with my <em><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-64297047">Rhode Pineapple Cleanser</a></em>, then once I get out, it&#8217;s the <em><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-64296656">Rhode Glazing Mist,</a> <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-64296766">Rhode Glazing Milk</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-64297135">Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-64297243">YTTP Superfood Skin Drip,</a> <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-64297005">Rhode Barrier Restore Cream</a>, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-64297355">Biossance Eye Serum</a>, and lastly, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-64296813">Rhode Peptide Lip Mask.</a> </em>There was a short period of time when I tried mixing it up, but I quickly realized it wasn&#8217;t for me, and back to my staples I went.</p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

water</h4><p>All I drink is water (not a fan of the taste of anything else), but I make sure to drink even more water at night. I feel like it sets up my skin to be extra hydrated and fresh in the morning, and it stops me from snacking late at night. I feel a difference in the way my body feels in the morning when I drink more water at night vs when I don&#8217;t. </p><h4>Ten-minute clean-up</h4><p>Before I shower, I always do a quick room cleanup. Even if it&#8217;s just ten minutes to pick up whatever I didn&#8217;t have a chance to put away during the day. I love coming back to a perfectly clean room after my shower, and I wake up in such a better mood when I&#8217;m waking up in a clean space rather than a disorganized one.</p><h4>A sweet treat &amp; something to watch</h4><p>I&#8217;m doubling down here because they&#8217;re a package deal. I have an insane sweet tooth. A small percentage of my overall happiness comes from indulging in something sweet every day. Some days I try to be healthy about it; some days I don&#8217;t. Either way, I need <em><strong>something</strong></em> every night before bed. I&#8217;m aging myself so badly here <em>(I&#8217;m 27),</em> but there&#8217;s nothing more relaxing than being freshly showered, skincare done, with a full water bottle, a sweet treat, and a TV show to end your night. I prefer a show or a movie over scrolling on my phone, so I always have something to watch. </p><p style="text-align: center;">With Love,</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_dds!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_dds!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_dds!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_dds!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_dds!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_dds!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png" width="362" height="51.46565934065934" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:207,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:362,&quot;bytes&quot;:1134847,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://sereinebyco.substack.com/i/200925705?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F712f0887-2b8c-45fe-85a2-b4f31fab12f7_16000x6000.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_dds!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_dds!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_dds!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!_dds!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e8ae918-25f3-4c1e-9d81-2a249e5d1cda_16000x2272.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><div><hr></div><h5 style="text-align: center;"><em>Your room key is waiting.

It&#8217;s so 90s chic <em>(noticing a theme here?)</em> and a constant thought in my mind. I&#8217;m holding off for now, but I don&#8217;t know how much longer I can wait to give this permanent residence in my wardrobe. The slouch, the leather&#8212;and it&#8217;s the perfect size for summer. I love bags of all sizes, but as an over-packer, I realistically need a bag at minimum this size. </p><div><hr></div><h4 style="text-align: center;">Salomon Sneakers</h4><div

href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-63355037">Lanc&#244;me Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Full Coverage Concealer</a></strong></p><p>A beauty product that I come back to time and time again. Very lightweight, yet opaque enough to cover and correct. Perfect for the summertime and has a great shade range for those with true neutral undertones. If you gravitate towards natural looks, but struggle with under-eye darkness, this is a great common-ground concealer. <em><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-63355037">I use the shade 360N.</a></em></p><p><strong>35mm Film Camera</strong></p><p>I love my film camera. I have yet to develop anything, but the experience of capturing on it has been so&#8230;whimsical? It feels different from any other camera I have <a href="https://sereinebyco.substack.com/p/how-i-fell-in-love-with-photography">(and I have quite a few)</a>, and I&#8217;ve been collecting finished rolls, anxiously waiting to have enough ready to go and develop. A beach-bag essential all summer long.</p><p><strong><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-63357011">Rhode Lip Products</a></strong></p><p>Rhode&#8217;s always had a permanent reservation here, but lately, the lip products have taken their place right at the top drawer of my vanity again. I forgot how much I love the new and improved formula, and how lovely each shade is. <em>My favorites at the moment are <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-63356885">PB&amp;J</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-63356805">Salty Tan</a>, and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-63356742">Toast</a>.</em></p><p><strong><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-63357236">Ordinary Lash Curl Finisher</a></strong></p><p>The perfect at-home lash lift for summer. If mascara feels too heavy in the heat, this is a great alternative. A clear mascara that holds your lashes up. No worries about smudging or flaking, just beautiful, weightless lashes all day long.</p><p><strong>Rivals Season Two</strong></p><p>I watched season one when it first came out in 2024 and quickly fell in love with it. I&#8217;m so ecstatic that it came back, but I have yet to find anyone who&#8217;s watched, so I&#8217;m still crossing my fingers for a third season. This show has a little bit of everything. Taking place in the 1980s English countryside, this is a classic rich people&#8217;s drama, following powerful people fighting over a regional television franchise while also going through their personal life problems. I could not recommend this more. <em>It&#8217;s on Hulu, whenever you&#8217;re ready to watch.</em></p><h5 style="text-align: center;"><em>The amenities are officially yours to enjoy.

from last summer</p></blockquote><p>Justin has a &#8220;curse&#8221; that went viral online&#8212;every woman he dates ends up finding her soulmate right after they break up. When he connects with Emma, who has her own strange romantic streak, the two agree to date each other with a simple plan: break up quickly and cancel out their bad luck. A summer fling on a private island in Minnesota was supposed to solve everything, but between unexpected family responsibilities, personal complications, and growing closeness, their carefully planned arrangement starts to feel a lot more complicated than either of them expected.</p><h2>The Off-Campus Series By Elle Kennedy</h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

A lot of my childhood was captured on video, and there are dozens of albums filled with photos from disposable cameras. As I got older, I really appreciated having these memories and always felt eager to capture my own. </p><p>I think I got my first digital camera when I was maybe ten or eleven years old. I don&#8217;t remember using it much, just receiving it, and feeling like it would be something I&#8217;d really enjoy using. I was always the kid who had to bring a disposable on class field trips, forced my siblings to recreate music videos or dramatic movie scenes, and, when Instagram was created, you better believe I was obnoxiously posting every little thing, multiple times a day (<em>can we bring that back, please?</em>). </p><p>Fast forward to almost three years ago, my sister had just given birth to her first baby, and I got the urge to start capturing memories again. We are the adults now, and I want my nephews and my future kids to be able to look back on not just special days like birthdays or Christmas, but everyday moments. Summers at the beach, the first warm day of spring at the park, the ice cream truck, and the way my nephew says &#8220;ice cream truck&#8221;. These factors, <em>and the one where my sister told me how much she paid for her newborn's photo shoot</em>, made me impulsively spend way too much money on a camera in June of 2023. </p><p>My nephew became my little model, taking (my version of) professional photos for every little milestone of his. I&#8217;ve watched hours of videos on my specific camera and photography in general, and while I still have so much to learn, I&#8217;m really proud of how much I&#8217;ve improved since the start. </p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5b42c36b-d8ac-4a55-a497-652bfc005303_4000x6000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0fb0aa6a-5205-44c4-ae65-430d4975f668_4000x6000.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;The first photo I took VS a more recent one&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ef37ea78-3deb-4ef4-a838-727589d09d2b_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p>Sometimes I think about what it would look like to pursue photography a bit more seriously. There are SO many paths you can go down, and what excites me the most is the idea of doing retail/brand photography. I&#8217;ve done a bit for my job, and I thoroughly enjoy each experience. I also just <a href="https://sereinebyco.substack.com/p/i-launched-a-business-in-less-than">started a business</a> that will really allow me to start gaining experience, which is exciting.</p><p>I&#8217;ve tried numerous kinda of hobbies over the past few years, and the two that have really stuck have been writing and photography.

Long before I ever sat in an interview, I was already quietly building the foundation of the career I wanted. Not because someone told me to, and not because I had a mentor showing me the ropes, but because I was genuinely fascinated about what I was studying (do what you love, always!).

I thought, if these tools are going to be essential anyway, why wait for someone to teach them to me?</p><p>That shift in mindset changed everything. It wasn&#8217;t about trying to be impressive&#8212;it was about not wanting to walk into my future feeling unprepared.</p><p><em>So I started learning.</em></p><p>First things first, I treated my evenings and weekends like creative playgrounds. Canva became a space where I experimented with design, not because anyone asked me to, but because I liked putting together designs that I could imagine creating one day for a brand. <strong>I&#8217;d look at the hundreds of promotional emails I&#8217;d get a week from brands I loved, and I&#8217;d try to replicate them. If I didn&#8217;t know how to, I&#8217;d learn to (thanks, YouTube and TikTok).</strong></p><p>Second, I was the biggest fan of &#8220;trial and error&#8221;. There are so many advantages in being unknown, in having no one care. In 2018, I started a website because I wanted to strengthen my writing skills, learn about SEO, and start utilizing social media from a business standpoint. <em>It was in no way successful&#8212;but I was.</em> I learned everything I set out to learn, the best Pinterest practices to drive traffic to your website, connecting MailChimp to WordPress to start a newsletter&#8212;<em>the list goes on and on.</em></p><p>And that&#8217;s where most of my ambition came from. I&#8217;d see things that inspired me. I&#8217;ve always had this mindset: <em>&#8220;If it can be done, then <strong>I</strong> can do it.&#8221;</em></p><p>The more I learned, the more I realized how accessible skill-building actually is. <em>You don&#8217;t need a title to open a program. You don&#8217;t need permission to try.</em> So much of early career growth depends not on experience but on initiative&#8212;on the willingness to open the door yourself instead of waiting for someone to invite you in. Every time I picked up a new skill, it gave me a quiet confidence that I wasn&#8217;t just preparing for a job; I was preparing for myself. That feeling is something every young professional deserves to experience.</p><p>When it finally came time to apply for jobs, I expected these skills to be helpful, but I didn&#8217;t expect them to become the <em>thing</em> interviewers wanted to talk about. I&#8217;d had built a website to show off each skill I had, I wore it as a badge of honor. Interviewers noticed, and they were impressed. It wasn&#8217;t that I was the most qualified person in the room&#8212;far from it. But I showed ambition. I showed my determination to learn. Initiative is one of the greatest skills you can have.</p><p>The skills that make you unique often start as the things you do for fun. Too many people underestimate the value of their interests simply because they don&#8217;t come with a certificate or a formal class attached to them. But passion is often the strongest teacher. Curiosity is often the best coach.</p><p>Looking back, <strong>I think the real reason these hobbies turned into resume highlights is because they came from a place of authenticity.</strong> I wasn&#8217;t trying to check boxes or impress anyone. I was exploring the industry I wanted to join, and that made my learning deeper and more personal. Employers can feel the difference. Skills learned out of obligation feel flat. Skills learned out of curiosity carry energy, creativity, and intention. That&#8217;s the kind of learning that shows up in your work.</p><p>What I appreciate now is that this experience changed the way I see career growth altogether. It taught me that <em>you don&#8217;t have to be an expert to start&#8212;you just have to start.</em> Small, consistent, interest-driven learning compounds over time. Before you know it, the things you were curious about turn into your strengths. The things you learned in your free time become the things that make you stand out. The things you once considered hobbies become the foundation of your professional identity.</p><p>It also helped me walk into new roles with confidence instead of fear. I didn&#8217;t feel like I was pretending or guessing&#8212;I had already spent hours absorbing the basics. I could contribute sooner. I could think more strategically. I could ask better questions. I&#8217;d walk into an interview with ideas ready to share about what I&#8217;d do differently if I landed the role. That foundation made me not only more prepared, but more relaxed in my early career. And when you&#8217;re relaxed, you perform better. You connect better. You grow faster.</p><p><strong>Today, when I look at my resume, the skills I&#8217;m most proud of aren&#8217;t the ones I learned formally</strong><em><strong>&#8212;they&#8217;re the ones I taught myself.</strong></em> They remind me that my career is being built piece by piece, <em>by me</em>. And I&#8217;m still building. I&#8217;m always looking for new things to learn, staying in the know, and adding to my expertise.</p><p>So if you&#8217;re at the beginning of your career, or feeling stuck, or worried that you don&#8217;t have enough experience yet, I want you to hear this: you already have everything you need to start. The internet makes learning ridiculously easy. <em>Curiosity makes it enjoyable. Consistency makes it stick.</em> You don&#8217;t need a title to grow&#8212;you just need initiative. And every minute you spend learning something new is an investment in the future version of you.</p><p>My hobbies became the highlight of my resume, not because they were extraordinary, but because they were intentional. They showed I cared. They showed I was paying attention. They showed I was ready before anyone even asked. And that&#8217;s something anyone can replicate. Your next great skill could be the thing you decide to explore tonight just because it interests you. So follow it.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Welcome Note — April 2026]]></title><description><![CDATA[April is unwritten, as is anything new.]]></description><link>https://www.sereinebyco.com/p/april-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.sereinebyco.com/p/april-2026</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Colleen Denise]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Mar 2026 03:48:30 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Qlmt!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F46f9a565-d73a-489e-b486-ab3625099718_736x1007.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>April is unwritten, as is anything new. A familiar feeling guides you in, but it&#8217;s you yourself who wants to find the way. Resources in reach, visions in your mind, as you start to dust off everything the wind brushed onto you in the previous season.</p><p>You&#8217;re tired, blame it on the lack of sunlight, but you forbid yourself to stay inside any longer. You push through the walls, you claim the fresh air, you take it upon yourself to make things happen. You can enter as your old self, but you must believe that you are not forced to stay that way.</p><p>And it&#8217;s okay if you&#8217;re still looking for the exact spot that the sun hits. Where you&#8217;ll feel the most warmth, the most radiance, the place that will renew the energy that you&#8217;re in search of. Because April is a smooth transition. It is patient and breezy. It understands highs and lows; it defines transformation.</p><p>It will allow you to dance in the rain and bask in the shine.

A wedding dress can be made in <em>how</em> many different ways? The talent, creativity, and passion were evident in each design. I feel so fortunate to have been able to see this side of the fashion industry and how it operates.</p><p>When I sat in on my first fashion show, all I could think about was the endless opportunities that exist out there to be creative. These are artists that are making their designs come to life and showcasing them in front of everyone, and I want to do the same.</p><p>My photography, my writing, these things make me feel like one of the designers, and I often fall into cycles that puts them on the back burner. But when I&#8217;m watching a show, meeting Randy Fenoli and having a totally casual convo (while internally screaming), or speaking to the publisher of a magazine, I&#8217;m reminded just how important it is to engulf yourself in the things that light you up. Watching others succeed in their art ignites me. Being around inspiring people, inspires (shocker).</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tUWr!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tUWr!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tUWr!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tUWr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tUWr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tUWr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg" width="1320" height="1806" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/dcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1806,&quot;width&quot;:1320,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tUWr!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tUWr!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tUWr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tUWr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdcb71311-e524-4216-be60-03327978d99e_1320x1806.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>So here I am, reminding myself that my dreams are worth chasing, that authenticity is the bridge that will guide me to where I want to be.
