"Can you believe it's been a decade? Where did time go? Napakabilis. A lot has happened, and it's amazing how everything has unfolded. From a timid girl who inadvertedly ended up in the spotlight to a (still timid) woman who embraces the steadiness of life. I'm happy and grateful to be standing where I began — and where I have always chosen to be. 10 years. A decade. Just wow."
