Hi Lifestyle lounges, how are you all doing. So this is my first post in this wonderful community, I hope you enjoy reading through.

My relationship with myself.

It is when you love yourself that you will be able to relate cordially with one another.
When you make a list of your expectations from an ideal partner, do you also checklist yourself if you are an ideal choice for someone too?

Over the past few years, I suffered from shyness and inferiority complex but thankfully I had my elder sister who was always there to nudge me aside and build in my brain who I am. My changing point was when I got admission into the Tertiary Institution was my changing point, it worked wonders in my mindset. In secondary school I was the kind of person to always be on my own, either I am on my own reading or with a friend. Joining the University, I became involved with some organizations in my school like the African Leading Women (ALW) chapter in school, Broadcasting Students Association (BSA), to name but a few. These groups has helped in building my confidence. I have come to the realization that I did not love myself and always looked on others for validation in my life affairs.

I have grown to love myself, Now I have realized that I am my father's daughter, with that in mind I can achieve anything I put my mind to. I have become more friendly within myself, not minding what anyone says. I speak with boldness anywhere I am.

I am a jovial person but sometimes I just love being on my own, reflecting through space.
I love reading books, currently I am reading; Thinking like a Monk by Jay Shetty and I am enjoying the book.

I am more happier than I have been because I don't look at people will say, I have outlined plans that I want to achieve in the near future and nothing will stop me from gaining the world. Hopefully joining Hive would help because here you can pour out your thoughts into your writing.
