By: [Your Name] wilson wongI didn’t plan to change my life. I didn’t read a book, or hit rock bottom, or have some teary moment of clarity. It happened on a Tuesday. Rainy. Bland. I was standing in front of my fridge, staring at half a bag of spinach and leftover Chinese, and realized I had spent the last four weekends doing absolutely nothing. I mean, nothing. Declining invites. Ignoring texts. Saying "maybe next time" to things I knew I’d never do. And that’s when it hit me — I was letting life pass me by, one quiet “no” at a time.
