"Still Life with Stories" speaks to how our lives are a collection of such moments—quiet, reflective pauses amidst the noise, where we seek sustenance not just in food but in understanding, contemplation, and connection with the world around us. Even in stillness, life continues to unfold its stories.

As a treat to myself, I have written an article in the style format of one of my favorite websites the-talks.com for my 40th birthday, where I interview myself about turning 40. It is meant as a kind of time capsule for myself to read in the years and decades to come. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
