What are you most proud of in your life?
If you’d asked me a few years ago, I’d probably have said something simple like
“getting through the week without accidentally burning pasta.”
But now? I’m proudest of building Survivor Incognito—this weird, wandering campfire of chaos that started as a small idea and slowly turned into something people actually read, follow, and enjoy.
It’s not fame or fortune, and that’s what makes it special. It’s slow growth, honest effort, and a whole lot of heart. Every view, every comment, every returning reader—each is proof that I took the leap, stuck with it, and made something that feels like me.
Six months in, I’m proud that I didn’t give up when the numbers were low, when the formatting broke, or when I wondered if anyone even noticed. Because even if it’s a quiet campfire, it’s mine—and it’s still burning.
