You know… it’s wild how people can twist things when they only know half the story. For a while, I let all that noise get to me — I started doubting what I knew, doubting what I felt. But lately, I’ve learned that you can’t believe everything you hear unless you’ve heard every side.

This episode’s about that — about how people love to come for others, to fill in blanks they were never part of. And how, even after everything went down, hope has this funny way of sneaking back in.

I didn’t expect it, honestly. I thought that door was closed. But finding peace, and maybe a little hope again… that’s probably the best early birthday gift I could’ve asked for. Sometimes life has a way of showing you what’s real when you finally stop listening to everyone else.
