Rain lashed against my Brooklyn apartment windows at 2:47 AM, the blue glow of my phone illuminating tear tracks I hadn't noticed forming.

What began as procrastination became an urgent ritual: arranging cerulean beneath sapphire, separating crimson from coral with surgical precision. Each successful transfer t -
That Warsaw conference center felt like a steel-and-glass labyrinth designed to break me. Five minutes between sessions, heels clicking frantically on polished floors as I raced from keynote to workshop. Room 3.2.15 – where the hell was it? Standard signage dissolved into abstract hieroglyphs under stress. Sweat trickled down my collar as I whipped out my phone, thumb jabbing at the BCD Travel Poland app. The search function choked for three agonizing seconds – laggy responsiveness nearly made m -
