Happy Oscars Day!
For as long as I can remember, the Academy Awards have been the most anticipated highlight of late winter. The entire season of film, television, and music awards unfolds like a grand spectacle, akin to the thrill of baseball season for others. I eagerly immerse myself in the rich tapestry of storytelling—the beautiful, emotional, and captivating films that come to life on the screen. Yet, it’s the fashion that genuinely makes my heart race. The dazzling gowns, sharp tuxedos, and bold accessories transform the red carpet into a breathtaking display of creativity and style, leaving me in awe. There's something truly captivating about witnessing movie stars mingling at prestigious events, their charisma lighting up the room. As they engage in lively conversations, sharing laughter and camaraderie, one can't help but feel the electric atmosphere. Then, when the moment arrives for them to accept their coveted golden statues, the air is thick with anticipation. Each star walks onto the stage, delivering heartfelt speeches reflecting their journeys, struggles, and triumphs in the industry. Their words resonate with inspiration, leaving the audience stirred and motivated, as they celebrate individual achievements and the power of storytelling and artistry that unite them all.

Watching this year’s Academy Awards was unlike any other, as I was on a winding journey from Southern California to Northern California, the landscape blurring outside the car window. Instead of nestling in the comfort of my living room, I watched most of the Oscars unfold on my laptop from the passenger seat of a moving vehicle, the excitement of the evening punctuated by the rhythmic hum of the road beneath us. However, the most poignant part of the night came when I could finally share the experience with my mom on her cozy couch. After what felt like an eternity apart, we embraced for a long, heartfelt hug, a bittersweet moment tinged with the sadness of her recent loss and the comfort of our reunion. Together, we soaked in the glamour of the show, appreciating each moment even more deeply in the warmth of our shared love and memories.
