with mental wellness, though some days, I wonder about my sanity.

Years later, my husband and I still discuss that moment at the Met. In a vacation filled with memorable experiences, that unexpected encounter with van Gogh’s genius stands out as transformative. It reminds us to approach art with openness, to allow ourselves to be surprised, and most importantly, to seek out in-person experiences with art whenever possible. That’s why before I die, I’ve made it my mission to see “The Starry Night” in person, wherever it may hang. I can only imagine what emotional response awaits us when we stand before those swirling stars and that vibrant, pulsating night sky — another chance to be spellbound by van Gogh’s unique vision of our world, transformed through his troubled yet brilliant eyes.
