10 THINGS NO ONE ASKED ABOUT ME

1. I was born in a family of yogis and began a committed yoga and meditation practice when I was 11 yrs old.

2. Overtime I have come to learn there are two categories of people: those who buy books to read and those who buy books to collect. I'm still making peace with this revelation. 

3. I have hit rock bottom three times in my life so far: at age 16, 22, 33.  Each time I did not think I would survive it. For each chapter I was delivered with a significant life lesson at it's core. In this one life, we have so many energetic deaths and rebirths.  We're evolving as people and I have learnt that rock bottoms often signify a tumultuous letting go periods of our life, that needed to take place for our own growth and path to living our most authentic life (in line with your higher self). 

4. My whole life I held onto this belief that I had to be whole, and complete, and perfect before venturing into something new, and the timing had to be just right. I've since learnt that I will always be a work in progress, and that I am good enough as I am at any given chapter in my life. 

5. When life was failing me, I gave in to my demons and had my first suicide attempt at the age of 21. Fortunately, that failed me too. Fate had other plans it seems, one of which was giving me the opportunity to see for myself that life does get better and I am a lot more resilient than I could have imagined. 

6. The quality of your relationships will determine the quality of your life.  Your very first experience of your caregivers will be reflected in your future relationships to come. 

7. I have learnt the hard way that life is not linear and accepting this truth, does make the hard parts less hard.

8. The best piece of advice given to me when I was low on hope and feeling stuck: "The only thing constant in life is change." It made a world of difference. 

9. I have two cats. They are siblings. They came into my life at a time of great grief and loss, and they're two of the best decisions I could have made with my life. 
​
10. I refuse to be boxed. There's different parts of me and they're all me. I have come to learn that some people will only accept me if I fit into their box. I have also come to learn that it is ok to disappoint them, and to tell them they can keep their box. 

There you go, I hope you've learnt something new about me today!
