Change is Nececssary for Things to Take Flight

 Sometimes in life, change sneaks in through the smallest decisions. Like this morning, when I confused the coffee shop owner by ordering a caramel macchiato instead of my usual butterbeer. Or how, for two mornings in a row, I’ve been out the door by eight—only to find my normally buzzing café completely quiet. No background chatter, just the baristas’ voices and the steady click of keys beneath my fingers.

I’ll be honest: I’m not the biggest fan of change. But I’ve come to realize it’s necessary. It’s how the best things in life are formed and how we grow into the people we’re meant to be. Change is a kind of metamorphosis—a process of shifting, stretching, and sometimes breaking, all so we can emerge stronger.

That’s what Comatose is about. It’s a story of changing, surviving, and adapting. It’s about the messy, painful, beautiful work of becoming.

If I hadn’t changed, this book wouldn’t exist. The old me would have written off the idea of ever becoming an author. She was content with being stagnant—content to DoorDash all day, as long as it meant she didn’t have to work for someone else.

But the new me? She has worlds to share with anyone willing to listen.
