That your life ahead is not going to be easy. You will be hurt plenty of times. There will be especially painful times and sometimes it might feel unbearable. Yet don't worry, because eventually you'll learn to open up yourself to the pain, instead of running away.

Why is that important? It's because the things that hurt us the most, are also the things we care most deeply about.

Anything else you'd like to tell us?

To be honest, I'm insecure about sending this form because I'm not confident of my voice but knowing that one of my favourite IG artist page is expanding to animations, I'm keen to contribute in ways that I can. I have an inkling to use my voice to impact the world and this seems like a good opportunity! I just want to say that I'm a fan of your art and thank you for creating content on spirituality and sharing your Light & Love to the rest of us! Your art has been really helpful as we all go through this experience of being a human.

What do you do now? * Final year university student, specialising in Business Information System and I teach Scratch programming (drag and drog, non-text programming language that can create games or animations) part-time.

On a scale of 1-10, rate how good of a speaker/ communicator you are. *4

Explain your current situation. Why would you rate yourself that score? * I rated myself 4 because I found that I have difficulty to share my opinions / thoughts process in group projects as well as when in teaching. I also have anxiety over public speaking (speaking to a large audience) and speaking eloquently. My speaking has improved from the past (more stuttering?) but it's still not confident and fluent. I don't think I'm good at organising my thoughts well into verbal words as well.

What are the top 3 challenges you experie...

• communication is a step to healing - jordan peterson
• i can stop wallowing in negativity and hinders myself from growth..
• keep things simple
• and be happy
• and put in effort towards your goals
• renew and start with a new mind, unlearn
• [workout complete] self-care is taking actions towards the ideal self you want to be, even though it may be hard
• self-care is also about putting in good things into ur body
• self-care is also about knowing ur priorities and being mature, give ur best work, be curious.
• solve problems instead of complaining it's hard
• being inspired is a wonderful feelings (cup of jasmien - working out, art, amy lee - mindset, HOW to adhd)

• celebrate small wins

honestly for me after a breakup, the story is over, its good to leave in good terms as adults that we are, wish each other good luck and walk away, if life happens to bring us together in the future then so be it, but been friends with an ex is just not it for me, because feelings tend to return, and things might get worse, its better to let it go, time heals all and focus on working on yourself, your career, hang out with friends, family etc. Like my last one where we just talked, wished each other good luck and walked away, no reason to be angry, or sad, we have no time to feel sad about why things didn't work out, we must make the best of life, if things didn't work out its because that person is not the one for you, there's always someone out there for everyone. It's better to not be friends with an ex while in another relationship because somet...

dear you,

it's your 22nd birthday, it feels surreal that in this year, you feel a sense of peace instead of a sense of shame, guilt and self-loathe you have experienced almost your whole life. you cut a toxic habit out of life and take steps to become who you want to become. intuitive eating, doing what is needed (in terms of hygiene, work out), my dental health has improved in 2 months time. so many things can change within three months, indeed. i forgive you for not knowing how to change last time. you had your struggles. days doesn't seem so dark anymore. you begun to realise that self-love must come from within and the peace with ourselves can only come from within. for the first time, you don't feel so empty being single, you don't feel empty for not being wanted by someone else. (yes i guess i'm really afraid of not being wanted and i was chasing this f...
