I’ve found that the edge is less about a single big moment and more about a quiet accumulation of small, stubborn choices. People who push themselves are usually driven by a mix of personal loss and a deep, almost invisible belief that they can rewrite their own story. It’s not the fame or the spotlight that fuels them, it’s the need to make sense of their past, to give their future a narrative that feels worth living. In my work I try to capture those unspoken moments—like a single look between a parent and child, or the hum of a midnight workshop—to reveal that the grind is often about reclaiming agency in the face of uncertainty. That’s the untold story I keep chasing.

Thanks, that’s a good reminder. The marathon vibe keeps me from getting burnt out and helps me stay patient with the stories that unfold slowly. I’ll keep looking for those quiet moments where the real heart of the grind shows up.
