I spent my life chasing success. Then I met the only one I couldn't catch.

I've spent years building a life where control is everything. My success didn't come from luck -- it came from shutting out distractions and keeping my emotions locked away so they wouldn't interfere with my work. I thought that was a strength.

And then I met Lilianna.

She's like a quiet storm -- graceful, but powerful enough to shake everything I thought I knew. One conversation with her and I forgot how to breathe. I can't explain the pull; I feel inside my chest, in every part of me that I thought had gone numb.

I've always known what I wanted. But now, I'm not so sure. She makes me think about things I've never let myself want -- an emotional connection, patience, and laughter. Lilianna makes me feel.

Letting her in means unlearning a lifetime of self-protection. It's scary. But maybe risking what I've built is the only way to find something real.

Maybe it's not about risking everything, maybe it's about finding everything I can't live without.
