In this episode, Bella reflects on the quieter, more consistent forms of love—whether it's familial or romantic. Inspired by the show When Life Gives You Tangerines, she shares her thoughts on love that isn't always loud or dramatic, but still has a deep impact. It's the love that shows up in small moments, sacrifices, and simple acts of care.

Bella also talks about the song You’ll Be In My Heart, sung by Niki and written by Phil Collins, and how it’s stuck with her as she thinks about her parents and the sacrifices they’ve made for her. It made her reflect on how they’ve always been there, even when things weren’t perfect, and how easy it is to take that love for granted.

This episode is about the quiet, constant love that often goes unnoticed but is always present. Bella shares how family relationships shift over time, and how that love—though subtle—is the foundation of so much. If you’ve ever been moved by a simple song or thought about how much your family has shaped you, this episode is for you.

Tune in to hear more about the importance of recognizing the love that’s always been there, even if it isn’t loud, and how it carries us through life.

After over a year away, I’m finally back—and honestly? Coming back feels strange, but necessary. In this episode of Chronic Contemplations, I dive into something that’s been weighing on me: the difference between living life and just watching it happen.

Lately, I’ve felt stuck in observer mode—scrolling, consuming, waiting. Watching other people chase their dreams while I put mine on pause. And maybe you’ve felt it too—that sense of floating through your days instead of really experiencing them. So today, I’m unpacking what keeps us in that passive state, why it’s so easy to fall into, and—most importantly—how we can start actively living again.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or just waiting for the “right moment” to start, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about how to stop watching life and start living it.
