You are my home

This year has been the happiest for me, even though there was a pandemic. The secret to this is in this article.

Reading a book

This does not sound revolutionary, I know but it did change me. I had stopped reading books because I did not feel like "myself". I distanced myself from my bookshelf, even though it would open the world of imagination. I opened a book after 7 months and finished it in 2 days and I felt this wave of relaxation. Then I read another book and then another. I learnt that in those hours when I read, I entered my imagination. I was with myself and enjoyed my company. It was self-care before I knew it was self-care.

Distance out from toxicity

You must have heard this about a billion times because so have I. I let go of the friends that were hurting me. I would be lying if I said that I did it immediately, I did not and that is the truth. They hurt me and I felt sick and disgusted. I pushed them away and they never came back. That did hurt me, a lot but now, I have never been at peace. It is hard, it will always be hard. If you are looking for an answer, here is your question, do you hurt more when they are around you? do you start feeling uneasy? there is a different feeling of negativity?

Chances are if they came into your mind, they are toxic.

Body Image

Stand up, seriously Go look at yourself in the mirror. Why are you feeling self-conscious? Is your forehead big? is it the crooked nose? is it being flat chested? is it your voice? I asked these questions when I looked at myself in the mirror.

I read an article which said that beauty standards change. It opened my eyes, of course, it did. Big butts were undesirable before but now they are the rage. What will be the new trend in the next 3 years? big foreheads, flat chests, acne? You never know.
