Hey there! In this week’s tea talk I share my peach-blueberry tea in the iconic green mug. In my life update, I navigate school, social life, breakdowns, and the future. I introduce the topic of comparison with a few disclaimers, approaches, and the episode’s structure. Then, I share my story growing up, personal distinctions, intelectual realisations, and my thoughts on the typical advice. Next, I talk about how things improved for me: focusing on myself, appreciating others’ beauty, and positive affirmations. I move on to reflecting on today’s society: how hurt we are and how we can fix it. I wrap up with my takeaways and share my current favourites in routines, driving, and nail care.
