Another insightful read Rachna. I'm like you, I just want to be happy in myself. I wasn't for a very very long time so it was something I desperately wanted. I soon realised that to be happy in myself I needed to know myself and then accept myself exactly as I was in that moment.

So that's been my focus - getting to know myself properly. My likes, dislikes, pet peeves and weaknesses. I take myself on little dates. I journal. I spend more time with my inner voice. I'm working on focusing less on what I want to achieve and more on how I want to *feel* each day.

Thanks Yemisi. I am so glad you chose to do this work for yourself. It takes a lot of courage to meet ourselves and feel our feelings. I see you doing it. Love how you are expressing it with your art every day :)
