A recent realization struck me: the version myself that emerges can vary significantly depending on the company I keep. As I reflected on this insight, I recognized the importance of seeking relationships where I genuinely like the version of myself that appears when I am with them. This understanding highlights just how crucial it is… Continue reading Choose Connections Where You Like the Version of Yourself
