30 days of micro essays
at this electric juncture in my life, i've committed to 30 days of micro-essays – a variation of my earlier ‘50 days of writing’ from 2023. while most pieces are personal reflections mapping this transformative period, others explore and crystallize ideas surrounding my company. writing, after all, has always been my way of making sense of pivotal moments.
