If the journey mostly is not bringing us joy and peace, the feelings after reaching to the destination will not be any different.

My favorite part 💯

I see this as growth, Harneek. You are accepting yourself and allowing your thoughts and feelings to come. And you’ll see, they’ll leave at some point, too. Curiosity is great because it allows those feelings to become messengers for us. What are they trying to tell me? Without overthinking it, just be vaguely intrigued. The answers will come in time. I really resonated with your attachment to the purple you. I have my own purple toy and I can’t seem to see past it. But the universe will find a way to help me course correct, I’m sure, if only I am open to it. Thank you, as always, for your courage to be so real on the page.❤️

Thank you Nida for your warmth and kindness you bring in your words. I really like the perspective of universe helping me to see past the purple toy, if I stay open. Some days staying open seems the hardest when your past hasn’t been very gentle but I am trying my best. Thank you for the reminder though 💚💚

I think it's great that you're recognizing these feelings and acknowledging them. It's a big step, Harneek. Remember, your worth isn't tied to your accomplishments. You're valuable no matter what.

We have different views in our journey. We might love some. Some we may not. But being able to just be it, embracing what is and keep working past it towards our goal, is the driving force for me. Good thoughts to ponder upon.

And thanks for the mention. Glad that you enjoyed it.

Very illuminating picture of this internal conversation with yourself, Harneek.

I found paragraph 5 particularly refreshing. I think we are all struggling with these things, which is why I'm sure many do see themselves in this essay.

Thank you for revealing yourself, and thus in the process revealing all of us.

Hmm yeah paragraph 5 is quite raw, it was a relief to accept those feelings. Thank you for always reading my newsletter and your thoughtful comments :)
