This year I learnt lots of important lessons about speaking up. When we speak up we're being our authentic selves instead of hiding who we are.

What’s it like?
I committed myself to writing and sharing it on this blog over 3 years ago. Sometimes it's easy but other times it feels difficult to do. Sometimes I want to write about the world or social media and other times I want to share what I've learnt about myself through self-exploration.

In search of something
