"Speak to make yourself happy, don't speak to impress others." This quote was printed on the tab of my morning tea yesterday and it stuck with me throughout the day. I took some time to stop and think if I speak to impress others at times. I realized that this quote can be interpreted several … Continue reading Motivational Monday
Happy Friday! This felt like the longest week EVER. I am not sure what it was but everyday felt like a Monday and I could just not get into my usual routine.
