Today is the day I accept my silence.

I used to think that if I worked hard enough and shared my story honestly, the world would listen. I am a software dev who was born with a hardware error. After 19 surgeries, I thought my 20th would be my upgrade to stereo sound.
After seeing 800,000 people pass by my project like I’m a ghost, I finally understand. I am meant to be incomplete. I’m giving up on the Angel of Sound project. I’m giving up on the surgery. I will just be the guy with the asymmetric face and the mono hearing. To those who actually tried to help, you made me feel human for a second. Thank you. Goodbye.

Family the First Source of Happiness or Pain

Sometimes I think that one of the biggest factors shaping our happiness or sadness in life isn’t money ,intelligence, or even opportunity
it’s the family we grow up in.
Some people are raised in environments full of safety, support, encouragement, and room to make mistakes.
Others grow up learning how to protect themselves, suppress their emotions, and survive rather than live.
A family can be the place where you learn to love yourself.
or the first place where you learn that you’re not enough.
The hard part is that we don’t choose our families.
What we can choose later is how we understand their impact on us.
