Do you need a break? From what?
I genuinely need a break from my everyday routine. It has become extremely monotonous.

What do you complain about the most?
Honestly, I am not going to go like ” ooh lately I have learnt how to practice gratitude and gone are the days I would complain….” No that doesn’t even sound anywhere close to being human.
It is true though, I have learnt how to be grateful about every little thing you know, just getting out of bed, having running water… little things like those make my world sustainable.
Genuinely though, the thing I’ve constantly been complaining about lately is my work. I have zero passion for the place I am currently working. I’ve just learnt how important it is to also pray for a good working environment while we are praying for jobs. A toxic work environment is genuinely damaging.
I can’t just pretend not to pay attention to the damages it is doing to me and with that comes a little complaining here and there..but yeah that’s just it. ❤️
I’m trying to change the situation though.
Cheers🌷

What are your biggest challenges?
I feel things deeply and I mean extremely, on one side that can be a strength and on the other side it can be a weakness. Most of my worry comes from that.
This is the greatest hurdle I’m handling. I’m slowly teaching myself how to regulate.

Radical acceptance is something I am learning to embrace. Through that I am able to maturely sit with my most uncomfortable emotions and self regulate.
All my other weaknesses actually spring from my extreme emotions. It’s basically the elephant in the room😅.
My perfect imperfection.
What relationships have a positive impact on you?
The past one year has been an eye opener. It is said time and again how crucial self love is. Until you become entirely deliberate about it, you’ll never just get to the core of it.

I got back home to myself. I have become aware of the person I am. As simple as it sounds, it hasn’t been an easy task. One thing I’ve learnt is that, growth is a very essential process yet very uncomfortable.
Through growth, I’ve learnt to be in a healthy relationship with myself. The benefits up to this point have been profound.
I am a better person..not perfect. I love how I am able to catch myself. I love how intentional I am with myself and everyone else around me.
So for me I would say, self love has had a very positive impact on me.
Who are the biggest influences in your life?
My mom is my literal heart. She’s my SI unit to everything I put my mind on.❤️ She is my universe.

What cities do you want to visit?
Calm. Clean. Organized. It is mind-blowing how fast the city has grown. It is my constant reminder that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. That we are allowed to dream again and again. That no matter how hard we fall, we can always rise again.

Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.
I promise, nothing really. I think recovering from depending entirely on external validation has taught me not to worry about what people think or say about me.
As long as I’m out here spreading love and respecting everyone else’s boundaries, what they say should be the least of my concerns.
Cheers

What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
“Val I want to tell you something, but don’t take it the wrong way.” That’s how most of the people around me start their conversation with me.
I have everyone around me walking on egg shells because of my intense emotion.
I feel everything. I feel even those things that don’t deserve any emotion. Wearing my heart on my sleeves like this, isn’t something I am proud of about myself.
I love how everyone around me is able to filter their emotions. They know what to take to the heart and what not to.
It is so humiliating carrying around these emotions at my big age.
It’s even worse when it comes out as playing victim.

What’s your favorite cartoon?
I am effing blank. I usually shush when the subject about cartoons comes up.
I can’t entirely say I do not watch cartoons, but I do not really fancy them.
Sponge Bob puts a smile on my face occasionally though.
Cheers.
What could you do less of?
I genuinely wish I couldn’t care about what everyone thinks about me.
Living life freely on my terms.
Doing things that entirely make me happy.
Just being in my bubble and shutting down every other noise that would come as an opinion of me.
Just being more of myself , without outward validation. I wish I could entirely do more of that.
