“Promises”
I became more skeptical of sweeping promises.
I graduated college after a severe traumatic brain injury.

I became more skeptical of sweeping promises.
I learned that disagreement does not equal ignorance.
My views evolved as I noticed who policies protect and who they burden.
I now question sources I once trusted without hesitation.
I shifted from certainty to curiosity about the unknown.
My politics grew more complex as my life responsibilities grew.
I learned that good intentions do not guarantee good policy.
I became less interested in winning arguments and more interested in impact.
I stopped believing there was one correct political identity.
Exposure to different communities reshaped how I think about power.
