The Unseen Path

Life doesn't ask if I'm ready.

It simply happens - and then it watches what I do next.

I was born blind. People didn't always say it openly, but the message was clear: some lives are meant to stay small.

But I refused that script.

The Unseen Path is not a dramatic story of "overcoming" blindness in a single heroic moment. It is the real journey of learning to live with it, grow through it, and keep moving forward despite everything that tried to slow me down.

From childhood, my world was shaped by sound, touch, and memory. And when life demanded more than courage, I responded with discipline, faith, and relentless effort.

This memoir takes you through the defining moments of my life - not as headlines, but as lived reality. It begins with early struggles that were not only physical, but deeply social. The kind of struggles that come when disability is seen as weakness instead of simply a different way of living.

One of the strongest threads in this story is my fight for equal opportunity. Not through slogans, but through action. In a world that was not designed for accessibility, where institutions were quick to reject and rules were used as walls, I chose to push back. I questioned what was unfair. I demanded what was right. I stood up for my education not as a favor, but as a right.

That legal fight was not just about admission. It was about dignity. It was about proving that equality is not something you beg for.

Yet this book is not written in anger. I do not complain. I do not ask for sympathy. Instead, I invite you into a life where challenges keep coming, but the spirit remains steady.

And just when life seems to settle, the journey turns again - into my most vulnerable seasons: health struggles, hospital visits, surgeries, and the emotional weight of uncertainty. These chapters are not meant to frighten, but to remind us of a truth we often avoid:

Anything can happen. At any time. Without warning.

The Unseen Path shows what it means to face pain without losing hope, fear without surrendering, and uncertainty without collapsing into self-pity.

Even when the body weakens, the spirit can stay awake.

This memoir does not try to sound heroic. It simply tells the truth: life can be unfair and unpredictable - but we can still choose how we respond.

And my response has always been the same:

Move forward.

If you have ever felt unseen, underestimated, or tired of fighting your battles quietly, this book will feel personal. It will not promise that life becomes easier.

But it will remind you that you can become stronger.

Because sometimes, the greatest victory is not winning.

It is simply continuing.

The path was unseen.

The walking was real.

And that is what makes this Book unforgettable.
