    is age really just a number? feeling behind in your 20s

    no matter how much i try not to compare my age and accomplishments with others, somehow i give in and go down the rabbit hole. no matter how progressive we claim to be, we still try to attach age to everything in our lives. it is sad but the first step you can do to break this stigma is to stand up for what you believe in and work out what you value the most. once you're at peace with your decision, it'll help in shutting the society out. instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unwindwithdivya/

    feeling guilty all the time

    do you feel guilty about everything you do? do you apologise for things that are not even your fault? i often feel guilty about a LOT of things. feeling guilty is engraved in the dna of south asians. the emotional blackmail and codependency by our family creates the feeling of guilt and fear that makes us comply. some may say that this feeling makes us better and it makes us work harder. what are your thoughts? instagram - https://www.instagram.com/unwindwithdivya/
