I know I need to dig deeper, it's not usual for me to feel angry toward everything. … Continue reading Certificate
Self-Love
Silver
These days, I like myself, and it's a big thing to say. I used to be that girl who is longing to be someone else, to be that friend with "rich parents", to be that friend with "great hair/ nose/ skin/ height/ body shape, to be that friend who has a better life/ bigger salary/ … Continue reading Silver

Control
We only control what we don't trust. We can either control ourselves or love ourselves, but we can't do both. Love is the opposite of control. Love demands trust. I love myself now. Self-love means that I have a relationship with myself built on trust and loyalty. I trust myself to have my own back, … Continue reading Control
