Your Bittersweet Moments Matter
Have a bittersweet moment you’re willing to share? I want to hear it.
What I'm Looking For
I’m interested in those moments that contain contradictions: happiness tinged with sadness, relief mixed with regret, growth that came through pain. Some examples might include:

- A career decision that brought both loss and freedom
- A relationship that was both nurturing and constraining
- A moment of clarity that came through difficulty
- Times when speaking up (or staying silent) had unexpected consequences
- A personal triumph that felt both fulfilling and bittersweet
- Experiences that changed how you see yourself or the world
