Another thoughtful essay that I can relate to.

I’m glad you took a break. And the world didn’t fall apart! 😊 Instead, you honoured what your body and mind needed. 💕

Thank you Mika!💕

This break was more like the one I 'had' to take as I sit for my 10th Actuarial exam in exactly 2 weeks. Sometimes it's just hard to manage work, studies and writing at the same time, but I missed Substack (and writing) so much and I am so grateful to know that I was missed too. Always making sure to take out some time to read your lovely newsletters every Friday too - they have now become a part of my routine✨

Very beautiful article. I can very much relate to that insecurity you are feeling. In order not to be consumed by it, we need to make some brightness of our own. I'm glad you keep writing, because to me your writing is part of the brightness.🌞

It does matter. If there are no water drops then there is no rain, no ocean. 🩷

It’s warm to read this after being so triggered up by everything that is happening around. I got comfort today from this piece of writing. Thank you, Mansi.

This exact trigger is what led me to write this post. There is so much darkness in this world and so little places where people can find light. I just wanted to make sure that people reading these words remember that they can contribute towards the goodness in this world, and even if it may not have a significant impact, it does matter. 💕
