Following the Voice Within

Let’s borrow a thought from philosopher John Stuart Mill:
“It’s better for a person to live life in their own way—not because it’s the best way, but because it’s their way.”
That line gave me clarity during a time when I constantly asked myself,
“Is that how I’m supposed to live?”
Live your own way.
Of course, that way should also be kind and thoughtful toward others.
But it starts with stepping away from the habit of shrinking and self-censoring—
and instead, choosing to observe and care for yourself.
That’s where the journey begins.
