@rashmi.airan: Today marks 10 years. 10 years of walking into Publix, buying money orders, driving to the UPS store, and mailing them to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Every single month. No skips. No shortcuts. And I still have 10 more years to go. There is a version of accountability people rarely see. It is not a moment. It is a lifetime of moments. It looks like living with a judgment that is 190 times more than what I made. It looks like limits that do not go away with time. I still cannot vote. I still cannot serve on a jury. I still cannot get my bar license back. There are days it feels heavy. There are days it feels unfair. And there are days I stand in that UPS store and feel the full weight of what one chapter of my life continues to cost. But I go anyway. Because this is what ownership looks like. This is what responsibility looks like. This is what it means to face what you did and keep choosing who you are becoming. For 10 years, I have not missed a payment. Not because it is easy. Because I made a decision about the kind of woman I would be. I am not defined by the worst thing I did. But I am accountable to it. 10 years down. 10 more to go. And I will keep showing up. I will keep doing the work. I will keep Rising Through It®.
