A possible philosophical cure to the existential struggles of life.

The Nonlinearity of Life explores the tension between the life I thought I should lead and the one I discovered was possible. Through my experience studying abroad, the essay reflects how immersing in a slower, more intentional way of living challenges my rigidity about the daunting future. The experience ultimately reshaped how I now understand time, risk, and what life truly means.
