  • › The Secret I’ve Been Carrying

    Some fears are too heavy to carry in silence.

    I have kept a secret from you guys.

    I don’t even know how to fully explain it, but this AI-generated image of me captures the feeling better than words ever could

    Ai generated picture of me and this situation.




    Let me share a little — but not everything.
    There are countless photos and videos of me and my son that have been saved. Manipulated images of us in different scenarios…and there is so much more I could say.


    I want to tell you everything. I truly do.
    But right now, I don’t know if this person has access to my blog, and that uncertainty alone is enough to make me hesitate.


    Living with that kind of fear… constantly wondering who is watching, what they know, and what they might do with the things they collect — it changes you.
    It puts your nervous system on high alert.
    It steals your sense of safety.


    And honestly? I am exhausted.

    Dreaming about slower days, salty air, and quiet moments away from everyday life.

    (Old photo but only one I have of me actually thinking. Lol it was an accidentally snapshot when I was gonna send a snap to a friend. But I had to save it. Lol )

    Lately I’ve been daydreaming a lot about traveling.

    Warm evenings, slower days, salty air, camera walks, and finally feeling sunlight without immediately wanting to hide from the heat.

    I keep imagining tiny moments already.
    Late dinners outside.
    Music in my headphones while walking somewhere unfamiliar.
    Taking photos of random little details nobody else notices.

    I think I need this trip more than I realized.

    Not for big adventures, honestly.
    Just to breathe differently for a little while.

    I want to take photos and explore the less touristy sides of places. The hidden gems, quiet alleys, tiny details, real life, and small moments that most people walk past without noticing.

    Just like I did in Italy.

    I still remember the colorful houses, the sunsets, the sea, and even two nuns I randomly saw while walking around with my camera.

    I felt strangely at home there.
    Standing near the sea with my camera in my hand.
    Calm.
    Relaxed.
    Mentally rested for the first time in a long while.

    Exactly what my mind needs right now.

    Quiet.
    Calmness.
    And just… breathing.
