Arithmology
From a young age, I have been intrigued by the phenomenon of recurring numbers. When I was 16 and in high school, a specific number suddenly started to stand out to me. It quickly became my favorite, and I have seen it every day since, now approaching my 36th birthday. In the first decade, I didn't pay much attention to this number, as I was also on a journey to discover my identity. I recognized myself as a mother and a wife, but that was the extent of my self-definition. I felt incomplete. I had lost sight of my passions, and it became clear that I needed to delve deeper into understanding myself at this stage of my life.
