Book Cover & Preview Text
Hello, do you know that you matter and that you are worth it? If your answer is yes, does your “yes” align with your actions toward yourself? This is about you—not them, not us, not anyone else. Right now, all that matters is you. Too often, society encourages us to look out the window instead of into the mirror. We’re taught to measure ourselves against external standards and societal trends, allowing these reflections to dictate our sense of self. As a result, we lose sight of our own identity, allowing it to be shaped by what’s outside, rather than what’s within.
