Opinion & Entertainment

Before I continue, I would like to point out that I will be using the term UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) instead of UFO (Unidentified Flying Object), as that is now the preferred term, since the object is not necessarily flying. I am a stickler for details.

I know my family has experienced stressors both in my childhood and in my own family. I think it is easy to assume that all families experience stress. Some challenges come and go but others can linger for months or even years. Some stressors can affect relationships, emotional well-being, and even physical health.

Learning new things for me has always felt like stepping into a dimly lit room. I can sense the shape of something important waiting for me, but I don’t know what it is or how it will change me. That uncertainty is uncomfortable, sometimes even frightening for me. Still, I’ve come to realize that the fear itself is a sign I’m standing at the edge of growth. When I push past it, I discover parts of myself I didn’t know existed.
