🌞 Not-Blue Moment
Hey Reader,I opened the Airbnb’s rooftop door and stopped breathing for a beat.
“Oh my…”
Below me, the harbour shimmered like brushed silver. Seaplanes glided in slow arcs overhead. The other side of Victoria in the distance looked close enough to reach.
The air in Victoria carries this unusual calm—salted, crisp, but not cold. It smells like wood and ocean and something else I can’t quite name.

This city has a softness I didn’t expect. People wave before they speak. Kindness doesn’t feel rehearsed here—it just… is.
As I zoomed in on a line of seagulls nesting on a rooftop across the street, I thought:
“These, are the moments worth holding onto.”
Take 4min to relive the moment I had for myself on Day 1 of the trip:
✨ Spark to Carry Forward
This week reminded me: everyone’s becoming something new—even if they don’t realize it yet.
On my flight from London, I found a Bear note I wrote in 2019.
“I want to be a nomad, but have you hold my heart at my side.”
I don’t remember who I wrote it for. But I remember exactly how it felt:
That soft ache of change. That in-between version of myself—no longer who I was, not yet who I’d become.
A few days later, I interviewed a man who owns 40+ businesses. Hours before that, I was seated next to a young lady planning to leave Canada and move home later this year because her visa ran out.
Two wildly different people. But we both talked about the same things:
Uncertainty.
Belonging.
AI.
Where they’re going next.
Who they’re becoming.
And somehow I thought back to that line in my note again. That note came back to me again. Maybe becoming isn’t about picking one path or place.
Maybe it’s about learning how to carry both freedom and tenderness.
To move freely—and love deeply. **
