I’m 23, and for as long as I can remember, it’s felt like I’ve been swimming against the tide. Life feels heavy, and even though I try to keep moving forward, I often struggle to find real joy in my day-to-day.
I’m naturally open-minded and curious, which means I love learning and discovering new things. It helps me grow and keeps my mind busy, but it doesn’t always translate into happiness or self-love.
To add to the mix, I have a 5-year-old who means the world to me. Being a young parent is both beautiful and overwhelming. I pour so much into caring for my child that I often forget to care for myself.
I’m sharing this because I feel ready to start changing things. I want to know: How do you start loving yourself more when it doesn’t come naturally? What’s helped you find joy or create a life that feels good?
