In this post, I finally share a story that, until now, I’ve only spoken about privately with close friends and family. On August 12, 2023, my life was turned upside down—literally—when I was in a major car crash with my brother and two cousins. What followed was chaos, trauma, and the kind of pain I never imagined experiencing at just 19 years old. For two years, I couldn’t tell the full story. But now, with the case fully settled, I’m opening up—not just to process my own healing, but to connect with others who have faced life-altering moments. This is a story of survival, resilience, and the perspective that only comes from nearly losing everything.
