It's my first voice over for a long piece. Did I leave in every stumble, nervous pen click and blunder? Yes. Is it the truest truth in the world that practice makes better? Also yes.

I came to this article from a YouTube video I watched yesterday. Truly grateful that I read this 💗. I'm one of the people that had fallen into the loop of self-help advices accessible on media. I spent time having the idea of boundary as cutting people away and being isolated to know myself more, not knowing it just makes my problem worse. Problem that is solved in another problem as long as the cycle continues for capitalizing. What we really need is a connection with others and stilll being rooted to our self. Thank you for this ❤️.

I will be honest. This has left me, wobbly? In a way that I thought I was walking on the ground but suddenly I am on a deck of a ship. Change takes time, but questioning us the first step.

Amazing article. I think it's really important to be wary of who and where this kind of advice is coming from, and what their intentions are. It's so easy for vulnerable people to get sucked down really detrimental pipelines.
