This year has been a whirlwind of new beginnings, from navigating the bustling classrooms of primary school to finding my footing in a city that's always building something new. It’s a strange feeling, being seven and realizing some parts of my inner world are best kept just for me, while I learn to share space with so many others. I'm collecting moments like little treasures, figuring out this delicate balance between being independent and knowing my parents are always there.
