Embracing and fulfilling our true needs is an essential journey to self-discovery and well-being. It's often easy to overlook our own needs in the hustle and bustle of daily life, whether we're influenced by external expectations or commitments. Sandra's reflection on her experiences as a Highly Sensitive Person resonates with me, as I've also struggled with the same challenges. Recognizing and accepting our unique needs is not just an act of self-compassion but also a way to lead a more fulfilling and authentic life. By addressing our true needs, we're better equipped to thrive and live with passion, compassion, humor, and style, as Maya Angelou eloquently expressed. It's a reminder that we owe it to ourselves to honor our needs and find the courage to live in alignment with them.
