I love this angle. Finding oneself is an exhausting search; building oneself is a rewarding craft.

I have felt this so much and I think endless reflecting is actually quite harmful, like you said, you need to build because at the end of the day we are always becoming! :)

Love-‘finding yourself’ - sounds exhausting but building yourself creates energy-determination, more satisfaction in the end result! ❤️

Love that! You're right, it 'creates energy-determination', such a great way of putting it :)
