Mansi, your writing on the matter is inspiring. It gives perspective and a peek into the life of a wonderful juggler. We can take some, empathise on some, consider some as alternatives.

Wish you a very Happy 25th!

"Creativity comes to me more easily when I have a pen in my hand instead of having a laptop screen in front." Yes, this is true for me too. I only just realised it when I read your words. Thanks for your beautifully written article.

Thank you for being here Mary! I really appreciate you taking out the time to read about me.

Ironically, I also discovered this fact about myself as I was writing this journal entry. It's so amazing that self discovery sometimes can happen in the smallest of moments sometimes. ♥️

Love the photo and love this idea for your birthday! 25 felt like a big step. No longer in my "early 20s". I'm mid-20s so should be better at the "adulting", even though I still felt young and that I was figuring it out.

You are so wise and in touch with yourself, that you are just going to keep growing and growing. I know it.

I'm so here for your journey!

PS thanks so much for sharing my post in your roundup xxx

Thank you so much for being here since only a handful a people read my newsletter. I would consider you to be a part of the 'OG Unwind Readers' gang haha. I feel like writing here has given me so many opportunities to discover who I truly am. I don't think a corporate job can ever teach me the things I have learned on Substack. This has truly been a blessing for my journey to self-discovery 🥰

Thank you Patrick!

It really has been so long but somehow it doesn't feel like it?

I am planning something special for this year as well. Will definitely reach out once I have a plan in mind.

Thank you Krista!

I agree, crying can be so exhausting. But I also feel like it works best for me to process my emotions then and there and move on with my life instead of letting them pile up. I wonder what that would feel like 😌
