What struck me most was that Adi saved this print of… Continue reading Happy NYE 2023-2024

In the same flavor as “happiness”, we are constantly seeking comfort and joy in our life. Everything we do or don’t do is an ego version of comfort and joy. In analyzing why I tend to binge eat I learnt that I simply want to “feel something”, to be comforted and feel joy/motivation/passion. I have… Continue reading Comfort and Joy
