By Design

5am. Mosquito bites.

Once I’m awake, I’m awake.

I sleep less the older I get.

Coffee. Dark sky.

Clear constellations.

Today begins a new lunar cycle, a pause to reset.

Last year was about illness recovery, health rebuilding, financial pressure, and waiting for stability.

This year:

Recovery into maintenance.

Health into structure.

Money into strategy.

Stability into design.

Strengthen the foundations.

Lean on what sustains you.

Quietly. Deliberately.

With clarity.

No perfect advice. No easy answers. Just the parts nobody talks about. Messy, funny, lonely, and oddly beautiful. If you are the one holding everything together. Welcome to the Back Row!
