CHEX & BALANCES

Wow, what a whirlwind of a week it’s been! I finally took the plunge and hit the streets again, performing my three-minute set on repeat. And guess what? It paid off big time! But the real treasure wasn’t the cash; it was the genuine love and feedback from the folks in Austin. Their support was like a warm hug, reminding me that people truly want to see you win as much as you do.

Time is a gift more precious than gold, and the moments they shared with me are irreplaceable. I realized I’ve been letting fear chain me down—not fear of failing, but fear of what success might bring. What if I let someone down? What if I let myself down? Finding my comedic voice has been a journey, trying to figure out how much of the real me to show when I’ve been in survival mode for so long. I’ve had to be as adaptable as water, and somewhere along the way, I think I lost myself.

Coming home, I was hit with the devastating news that my dear loved one had passed away. My heart shattered into a million pieces. He was my rock during a tough breakup, telling me, “You have to keep moving forward, don’t go backwards, Auntie.” Such wisdom from a young, mischievous soul, inspired by ‘The Incredibles’. Kids have this beautiful way of seeing things so clearly, catching the messages we often miss.

I’ll never forget him and that cherished moment. Whenever life throws a curveball, I’ll think of his words and his spirit. KS, you’ll always be a part of me. You’ll live on in my heart forever, never forgotten. I promise to live every moment I breathe…for you. ❤️
