Back with the Chaos Crew

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.

Life can feel like a blur of constant motion, a relentless rhythm of “go, go, go.” It’s easy to get lost in the shuffle of work, responsibilities, and everyday routines. But sometimes, a simple, meaningful event can shake things up in the best way possible.

For me, that shake-up came from a long-awaited reunion with my siblings. We’ve all grown up and forged our own paths in different cities, building lives filled with new people and priorities. While we keep in touch, there’s nothing quite like being in the same room, sharing laughs, reminiscing about old memories, and reconnecting without the filter of a phone screen or the pressure of a busy schedule.

The moment we started planning the get-together, a jolt of genuine excitement hit me. From the miraculous task of finding a date that worked for everyone to imagining the meals we’d share and the games we’d play, I had something real to look forward to.

When the day finally arrived, it was everything I’d hoped for and more. We cooked together, played board games late into the night, and even had a few playful arguments—just like old times. It was a beautiful, chaotic weekend, and I hadn’t realized how much I needed that kind of connection until I had it again.

That weekend was a powerful reminder that no matter how far we drift or how much life changes us, the bond we share remains unbreakable. It also made me promise myself not to wait so long before doing it again. In a world that often feels too busy and disconnected, these moments are what truly matter. My reunion with my siblings was a much-needed pause—a chance to breathe and cherish the people who have known me the longest and still choose to show up.
