Not all forms or types of self-care is suitable for everyone. In other words, self-care is not a one-size-fits-all. The best form is personal and balanced, while targeting multiple areas to create a foundation for the stability of the mind, body, soul, and spirit.
My relationship with self care & love…
Loving and caring for myself is something I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember. Life hasn’t been the easiest for me. If you’d like to know more, you can check out my YT: @itspariiiii09
Watch my latest video below!
I hope you watched the whole video and if you can relate, then it would mean a lot to me if you can show support.
“You look better natural & simple” a narrative that sends shivers down my spine. Perhaps, that is why I have such an inconsistent relationship with self-care, especially skin-care.
Now, as I reclaim the lost parts of myself as I practice real healthy self-love, it’s become difficult to stand in front of the mirror. I find myself in tears, wondering how could forces be so cruel to destroy someone’s mind, body, soul, and spirit so much that they end up subconsciously destroying themselves over time

Reconnecting with healthy touch:
Feeling comfortable in your skin can be incredibly difficult especially within the South Asian Diaspora where you’re doing your best to juggle the best of both worlds in a community that isn’t so forgiving or welcoming.
One of the most uncomfortable aspects of reconnecting with my body is allowing my inner teen & child to practice healthy touch without feeling a sense of dread, disconnect, and paralysis. Essentially, normalizing their need for stability & safety without ignoring, denying, avoiding, and shaming them for their basic needs of healthy love & attachment.
My heart is filled with gratitude and warmth to know they’ve had an amazing time finally feeling comfortable for safe self-exploration.
Thank you to VGO for making this a possibility as I embark on this journey of self-acceptance, growth, and discovery. I’m excited for your support should you choose growth and healing as well. If you decided to use my link, then I’d love to hear your thoughts on how VGO worked out for you.
Until next time, byeeeeeeee
